Well seeing as there's not much to tell, or show for that matter, of my van at the moment, I thought I'd post up my other ride, and projects!
This is my VH SLX, she's a pretty standard 308 really, aside from a bit of a tickle to the heads, the tunnel ram, twin 450 holleys, and a great cam
Trans is a tricked up T350, and diff a 4.11 nine inch
I'm pretty hopeless with photo's so the only ones I have are from my wedding
A clear view of one of only 2 dents on the car, (the other is a palm print from an over zealous helper)
Yeah, I'm the uncomfortable looking one in the suit!
I've had her for about 15 years now and she's been quite a reliable unit, does mid 12's down the quarter, and really doesn't give me any grief in traffic, except for fueling up a bit now and then!
The motor and box are out at the moment, for and engine bay tidy up, prompted by the gear box shearing off around the bell housing!
I think that started after I snapped the tailshaft in half at eastern creek, when I replaced it there was still a vibration, wasn't I surprised when I found the cause!
Now the engine bay tidy up has resulted in recoing the front end and adding VX brakes (it never did stop!), and whacking in a new motor with VN heads and a semi high rise manifold with a 650 double pumper. I'll be using the old motor in my rod, with a T700 behind it.
So here's a picture of where I'm up to with my current project .......
It's a 1942 International, It will be running a repro ford front end, a Navara diff and suspension, and obviously a tunnel rammed 308/T700 combo.
The lout in the cab is my son, he's also a car nut!
It should be a roller by Christmas, and on the road by the following Christmas.
That'll do for now, I'll throw up some more pictures of my other stuff as I find them!
Cheers, Scotty.
