noddy 451 Posted May 18, 2014 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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. 1 nos2 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

slydog 7,873 Posted May 18, 2014 Cool as bred...be good to say g'day face to face,share a can or two,a twisted story or 2 and carry on about cars and girls all in good company with the rest of the crew.Mexicans know how to have a good time and are cool people to boot. Donny says he is bringing down a few sets of tyres to smash off ONBOC when racing is done and he will fill the car with people for rides if they want.So if anyone wants a ride I drink Jim Beam can's,white regular cans and not Woodstock or JD and pleasing me will go a long way in getting you a ride.Jim Jefferies style If you know what I mean https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZEGQ42RFfhg 1 noddy reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
