Can't see why an engineer wouldn't be happy with how they have...

i'm puzzled by all this why not just use H/KTG rotors :? good enough for big heavy H/KTG 327 and 350 monaros and everything smaller :wink: or just use H/QJZX wheels with HQ discs they're pretty much the same rim as H/KTG then if yor worried about rear stud pattern change it to HQ easier and safer t...

Ive heard of atleast once a disk broke due to having a second stud pattern drilled through the webbing ,vaugely something like a disk is brittle and can crack , Could be a scary ride if the broken disk tore off the caliper ,common sense prevails . Pay the extra ,do the job right and feel comfortabl...

You can squeeze the second hole in next to the webbing if you are careful. :roll: Are you able to whack up some photies of the re-drilled discs at all ?? especially a piccie of the inside of the rotor showing where the new holes are in relation to the support webbing. If it doesn't interfere with t...

Here's a link to the re-drilled HQ ventilated discs evilbay They are on a HK Holden ATM. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Holden-HG-HK-HT-V8-Disc-Brake-Conversion-ventilated-/230650156073?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item35b3d21429 :roll: Scroll down and you can see some clear photos of where the ...

If you are clever you can knock the old studs out and redrill the stud holes off to one side a bit with no dramas. Dunno if its legal(probably not) but there is no reason for this mod to fail. I have a couple here that have been modified that I can post photos of if you cant imagine what I am descr...

Watch your fingers as you prise the flywheel off the mounting face of the crank. They ( the flywheel ) can let go and if you aren't ready for it and have your fingers in the way, they can get squashed. Good news is, you will only do it once, normally ( in my case years ago) it only happens to appren...

I think the "P" is a restamped engine buy the police? Just what I've heard :? . :roll: Yep, :roll: "p" Prefix usually denotes a replacement engine number given to a replacement block and stamped in manually. The numbers in those days were given out by the Police in the various s...

I have a 60 FB special, grey motor, and was wondering which other engines if any can be bolted straight in. Anyways if not which engines would be the best to get, 179 hp, 186? 202? Thanks! go a 179 bored 120 thou equalls a 192 then stroke it 2 a 234 using either a 202 crank i think or a 221 &*#...

G'day Luke, I've also been doing a bit of chasing for some HQ rotors in early Holden stud pattern so I'll share with you my multiple hours of internet research and phone calls if you like. As far as I can find, DBA ( Disc Brakes Australia ) are the only manufacturer of undrilled HQ rotors however yo...

I have it bored out 60thou and will be getting a 350 crank along with cam grind and oversized pistons block deck etc it will end up a 310. So I have been told today by the builder, yes it will cost a bucket but WTF are you gonna do with your money but spend it. :roll: Lots of blokes might say "...

Make sure you keep your build up photos for your engineer to see. There's some damn fine professsional workmanship gone into this build, I'm sure an engineer would be happy to inspect this one when the time comes. .

They do have that home made look about them

Steve - yep definitely home made.

Would I be correct in assuming an EJ block would have the same external dimensions of earlier grey blocks for FB and EKs...?

Yep, exactly the same and the EJ was supposed to be the best of the grey blocks to have.

I remember seeing a stroker kit for the 253 which took it out to 310 somewhere, just googled it and came up with this web site. http://www.pro-stroke.com.au/stroker_kits.html :roll: Yep, that was the mob I was thinking of.It would be interesting to know which crank they use for 310.I'm guessing a 3...

Couldn't you just bore the 253 out to 308 spec bore, and with the 350 crank it then becomes a...................350? Oddly enough, I think a 253 and 308 have the same stroke, and in stock form achieved maximum power at the same rpm. Talking about weights, my rego papers say 1090kg (EK). :? :roll: N...
