Hi Guys,
Just thought I would post up some info and pics of my newest toy.
It is an 82 VH SLX with the following mods -
Stroked and bored 253 taking it to 292 cubes
Chev 327 conrods
Chev 305 pistons
ARP rod bolts
Crow 222@.050" duration cam
Ported and flowed siamese exhaust port (non-VN) heads
New valves, hardened seats, h/d valve springs
Port matched std intake manifold with re-jetted and modded Quaddy carb
HDT branded cold air tray
Pacemaker extractors into twin 2.5 inch pipes into single 3" straight through muffler just before diff then single 3" pipe to rear
Stage 2 shift kitted Trimatic with 2500rpm stall converter
Std LSD 10 bolt Salisbury diff with 3.08 ratio
Pedders Sports Ryder springs and shocks all round
Slotted discs
ROH branded VT SS style 17" alloys with 235/45/17 Falken tyres
CD player, 6x9's in rear shelf, sub and amp in boot but who really wants to listen to CD's when there is a WORKD8 sitting under the bonnet
Car is in desperate need of a quality tune (anyone recommend someone worth while who can look after the quaddy, etc, in Melbourne? Western Suburbs prefered but not essential) Has not been dynoed so no power figures. Chirps the 235 Falken rears nicely on the 1 - 2 shift though...

Hey mate,
The pics were taken at a mini meet for the Auto Pilots club last Thursday night.
The VB is owned by a member of the AP forums. It has been converted to a VN V6 engine and looks as neat as, as you can see from the pics.
Don't know much else about it off hand but there is a thread on AP about it. I know the gearbox is stuffed in at the moment.
HTH,
