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...

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, TEMPA Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
