hey guys i've just rebuilt my engine and was wondering wat else i could do to it for some quick power and also the price would be good
V8 Red motor 253
bored 60 thou
flat top pistons
shaved heads
ported inlets on heads
double spring valve springs
lumpy cam
stock intake
350 holley carb
lightened flywheel
so wat u guys think of tha .........wat could i do to it for more power and prices would be good thanks...
Did you have hardend valve seats put in the heads to accept premium fuel,apparently I read an electronic distributor off a VK V8 can add a bit of spark ha ha,extractors exhaust help,got any pics?
What cam ya running? I'm going Crow Cam TQ20.
2.02 inlet and 1.06 outlet valves and harden valve seats, are a good idea.
Rochester carby would be alot better then the 350 Holley, ya can get em for a good price off ebay.
PJ H/V oil pump is good insurance. + pj timing gears (just for the noise.. hehee).

Love tonners.
I want a HQ ute, and then cut the back off at the line that goes around the ute. Then checker plate across the whole back so its flat, then lengthen the rear window. Add the HQ sedan rear bumper. Paint her black with a statesmen front end (twin head light). 15x10 rear and 15x41/2 Dragway Indies. And a *****en huge blower out the bonnet.
wat u mean pj timing gears for the noise.........ya lost me their mate and im not sure wat lift the cams got it came with the engine...but i do know its not stock
wat about getting a nice small blower to bolt on the side of the motor once youve strengthened everything else up???just put it where your airconditioning compressor was

Peter Jackson gears....they make the motor sound like it has a blower fitter, as there a straight cut timing gear, so eliminates chain stretch. You can get these off ebay as well, around $175.
MSD is pretty expensive, do a search on Yahoo. Same for the PJ gears.
The VK electronic dizzies are the go, again ya can get em off ebay for $200-$250.
maybe not such a good idea for people to start dropping figures, because it could end up less and you might be dissapointed. Looks like a good unit though, good luck man.
What box are you running.... 4spd?
