1982 Holden Commodore VH

Close but no cigar...

Distributor is the other end of the block and there is the big old oil pump back there too..
Plus the Nova has a one piece side plate where the Starfire is a 2 piece.

Very close though...

 

Anyhow - latest progress with this beast is the 308 is sitting in the hole but the mounts I had were wrong so I have the right ones coming from Australia.

Should be a ****load more progress this weekend I hope...

 

Cool build thread! Enjoyed the read. Keep us updated. Looks great!!

 

Bit more of an update - getting much closer and have almost all the parts needed - just need to have the time to put it all together.





Bigger brakes...




Snug fit for the headers and starter motor




Gearbox crossmember over-engineered but will never break...




Just need to throw the carb on and wire it up to mostly get things sorted here.




I love lists... LOL

 

Nothing much to say but brmmmmm brmmmm - beep beep - brmmm brmmmmmmm...

It sounds a bit rattly as the lifters haven't pumped up properly and it's open headers plus the tune was very very rough out of the box.
Next week some tuning and sorting - but tonight I get drunk in celebration!!!
