This is my VK Turbo 5 speed. No show stopper but built on a real tight budget. Has Rajay turbo rated 650HP and Mike Vine 400hp twin carb setup. I have EFI ready to bolt on when Im ready to mess with it again. Am looking for somewhere in Perth that will fit my Wolf3D ver4.4 for a bit less than the $800 Im getting quoted at the moment. Has the original EST sender units and computer still installed but disconnected at coil and using HEI dissy is 350rwhp in present trim but pings abit in 3rd and 4th under full boost.
This is the 3rd time Ive tried to post if all 3 suddenly turn up oooops sorry bout that.

No itll get EFI but is used on too regular basis to spend any time off the road. The bonet is a 2 can spray pack job that took me couple of hours
Had my first good work out today against a HSV r8 clubsport he got the jump on me coz we were both turning right at the lights but by third I was half a car ahead

heres my new vk calais, got it afew weeks ago, 308 manual. during the week the engine decided to pack it in, so iv pulled it out today n will be rebuilding it over the next few weeks, will be my daily driver but that doesn't mean i can't build a tough little motor.
has a 4 speed in it atm but ditching it for a supra box as ive got a spare one hanging around, which should b abit nicer.
here it is atm with no engine and just chucked some polished calais wheels on it earlier, i love em.

thanks for the comments guys, if i get around 200rwkw out of this motor i'll be happy, heres afew bits im chucking in:
crane 286 cam
crane antipumpup lifters
edelbrock performer manifold
acl flat tops and bearings
a9l rods
l34 valves
40 thou over
modded quadrajet
etc
its got an lsd borgie diff in it alread which will do the job, but he gearing is too tall at 3.36:1, so wouldn't mind changing to 3.7:1.
taking the engine to work tommorow to start stripping it down, bit of fun .
