Have you seen my ute yet? Dude waaaaaaaaaaaaay rough.Paint is McFucked and the carpet is satin black paint.But I don't need that shit,or brakes as it will only slow me down.Gaz told me so
If you can't get your wheels down there to race just come along for the weekend and a chin wag.We are heading down early Friday so we can get a extra day of tuning seat time.Last time I did it was about 17/18 years ago bro.Yes THAT long ago since I faced a set of lights.
all i got to do is exhaust stick the auto brake peddle in bit of wiring ill tow it down with the colorado incase we kill it i got some 245 semi slicks here it be good to finally see your rig in the flesh mate im due for some fun ive beem stuck in and out of hospital for months haha ill try and get it out to work tomorrow and and least get some runs out in whoop whoop walla walla down to atleast see if it will shit itself

as long as you flog it down the track for me i wont lie im a shit kent driver haha
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.....

Sly might be busy steering his. But I'll happily jump in his spot for ya.
haa if it throws a leg or two on the way down just dont brown my immac seats never had the reaction time to send anything of mine down i always wanted someone to take the effy but no one voulonteered to take her huge ass down

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
-
The paint is mixed with iron oxide and washed down in a acid with proper prep an undercoating the only thing that rusts is the paint local paint and panel shop owner did this to his own car as something different a lot of work in it but looks amazing close up
slydog and Crazy2287 reacted to this -
There is a better way where the paint is the only thing that's rusts very clever local
Bloke did it I'll put some pics up tomorrow

Have you tried explosives?

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
