Here she is... its a 1964 EH holden wagon, she was my very first car back in2002... have a soft spot for the ol wagon as u do with first cars... Specs r: 186p block 60tho over... Xu1 head which was ported even more and resleeved... Big ass stainless valves... Balanced Crank.... Twin 35mm delortos.. she has just under 11:1 compression hoping for 170kw with this setup.... I have a set of 45mm webbers in the build so hopefully 200+kw wen she is finally done... Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Nice man, my first car was an EH too. I had 186 bored out, yella terra head, XU1 cam, toyota 5 speed. Loved it. Sold it while I was at uni though, was costing me too much to run and was starting to rust hardcore. So I sold it and bought the VL. I'll put some pics up when I get5 home. I have a whole heap of red motor bits sitting in the shed for the day I buy a wagon. HP block, steel crank etc. One day I'll find a nice blue and white wagon...

The only reason y i bought another car was cos this car was taking way too long to finish thus being unable to get anywhere, so i bought a smashed HZ did a quick fix on that then swapped thast for a HX ute but wanted something slidable so a swapped the HX for the VL... Gear box, I've only got a friggin 4 spd.... Worst mistake wen buildin this car was the 4 spd, 1st and 2nd r way too close, wish i went for a 3 spd, each gear is more evenly spaced.

Yeah, mine started with a four speed. I didn't mind it, but then I didn't have the kind of power you have either.. I'm still looking for my pics, I may have to take photos of photos?

I think i might change out this gear box wen i do the clutch...(which was another bad choice, standard clutch's just cant hack it)........ Problem is i did all custom linkages for the 4 spd that took hours to perfect and look good... I think i will do a V8 3 spd box and change the input shaft to suit the 6... pretty sure this would b possible... other wise its a 5 spd... How hard was it to fit in ur EH... Any clearance issues??? Also put a new grill in the ol girl a couple weeks ago, and the rear bar but here is the new grill Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
