    Just do it Noddy, I'm having a crack for the first time in 3 weeks myself mate.

     

    Love the conversion in the ute mate, I'll have to build myself a V8 one day.

     

    I may but I won't make a good time lol

     

    Just got it running been trying since I started this thread on first turn over my initail thought was way to much comp I burnt out a el starter getting it running

     

    Just open headers but I've got a mandrel bent 3" single system with a hooker aero chamber to go on it

     

    my neighbour two doors down another mechanic came down 5 minutes after getting it idling to see if I had the effy going again

     

    He walked around to the front expecting to see a lot more then a bog stock looking dirty clevo I hardly hit it with some engine black with dented stock tappet cover and stock manifold his reaction was wtf have you done to this one!

     

    He wants the belt drive on it and a drive

     

    I'll throw a vid up when I get out there in some daylight I'm going to take it to get tuned just to look at there faces when they lift the bonnet

     

    im so rough i got wiring and shit every where rusted and dented tappet covers i went all out on the 393 and the mid build on the big block i really just dont care with the ute i know i should.....

    so im back after being unwell and i kinda decided to convert the ute to a 8 ive slapped a 40tho out 4mab crank sbc rods and acl flat top pistons combo and zero deck height then ive gone and thrown on some ported 2v 302 close chamber heads and ported 2v manifold

     

    i only had massive hydralic rollers from previous bulids for the effy so i scabbed a low mid range towing cam of a mate (unknown specs)

     

    straight cut timing gears i had left over belt drive and a few other left over goodies when i went to alloy heads on the 393

     

    im just giving everyone a heads up considering i cant get pistons for this set up any more and its only costing me my own time this may very well self detonate and if it does ill post pleanty of nice pics

     

    all opions and critisism is welcome as im very aware this is going to piss alot of people of

    i run something extremly close to this in my 393 chi 3v's in the effy but with 84 degs of overlap 315 inlet 315 exhaust with a c6  and 5;14's in a 2 1/2 tonne truck @ at 110 i could slap it back a gear and hit it and it lit up ( did it once shit my self never done it again since )

     

    the effy is anything but a weekender or nothing atm since the accident its pulled down but i run vaccume pump alternator to my booster to just have brakes as the manifold vac was non exsitent at idle

    This is probably the worse I've seen and it's on a mates car down here the door drops around a full inch and a half after opening it so much so his Qp is dented and squashed in so the door can open

     

    Never seen a xe like it all 4 doors have completely gone like this

    This idea is not for everyone but have you thought about 4wd tyres. Because of all the soft roaders now, they make highway terrain tread pattern but in 235 and 245 widths with various profiles plus 4wd tyres will last alot longer. The speed rating will be fine but you may want to check the load rating as you have a ute, I know the load rating is fine for sedans.

     

     

    never thought of that ill look it to thanks mate

    i run a extended paceys into 3"  pipe :huh: to a areo chamber then mandrel bent over the diff and a hooker straight through fiberglass dog its great at 110km no drone

     

    all mine was cheap and was left over pipe at the shop and brand new mufflers scored of speedway blokes with too much money

     

    i have a mean idle but i can get away with it at the lights next to the police down here its only loud when i hit that pedle ( which is alot )
