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.

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.

23-12-04, 15:23 GMT+10#14 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.

23-12-04, 15:50 GMT+10#18 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?
