The cam in my Grey powered HAMBster is about the same as a GTR XU1 grind. The standard cam was ground because no cam billets were available. It has survived probably 3-400 passes down the 'strip. I think it was done by Camtech in 2010.

That looks like Electron Blue otherwise known as Brooklands blue otherwise known as the colour of Cleanaway trucks. I know because I painted my FJ ute in 1999 that colour and had it on the road for 18 years. That one you bought I think was originally from Belmont NSW.

I don't know if this helps but I used Tasman centres in the front wheels of my HAMBster. After grinding the original rim away from the 'spokes' leaving the metal bit poking out I then used a standard HR ring. The Tasman centre is a snug fit and when I took them to a local bloke to fit them he told ...

So all these years I've been wrongly under the impression that it was the increase in bore size that made the 138. Well, there ya go.
That's a fairly old photo of my car. The 'embossed ' Holden on the rocker cover was an old bonnet badge from my FJ ute which I glued on plus I run a mechanical pump ...

My wife worries about how to get rid of my stuff if I cark it! Wait till I show her this collection.
Bugger me if I didn't actually see a Vanguard panelvan in a back yard out near Griffith N.S.W. today. Talk about serendipity.

I thought I'd add an update of the Holden Grey that I replaced the expired engine with that gave me the victory at the Bangers and Mash event. After extensive modification of absolutly nothing except for fresh fuel (91 straight from the pump) I did a total of 13 passes at Gunnedah this past weekend ...

For my next trick I'll try to post a youtube clip.

Thanks Harv. I'll give it a try. Let's see what happens.

What's the secret to posting photos? Just remember, as a computer operator I make a great truck driver.

Thanks Harv. I don't think the bore got damaged but I'm planning on getting another block bored and starting fresh. I've got some spare EJ rods and I'm going to see if Kevin Pryce in Cardiff, NSW can source another full set of forged pistons from the U.S.A. He got the last set for me and they were ...

Just an update on the engine that expired at the Six Banger nats. Not only did I break the crank but bent no.6 conrod and busted the bottom off the forged piston. Bearings are shot as well. I have one race left this year at Gunnedah 1st November and hopefully the spare engine will stay together for ...

Don't forget Harv that anything you chrome will add weight. A nice coat of paint might suffice.

I've got a red motor starter on my Grey motor powered HAMBster. It's bolted to a red motor bellhousing and works fine. Teeth are still there at the moment.

Good to catch up with you again Harv. That was my spare engine which was replacement for the one I broke the crank in at Warwick the previous weekend at the Six Banger Nats. For those that don't know, I won the Stick- Shift bracket and when doing a run for the Champion for the day the crank broke ...

G;day Clay. Does the ute have the tray underneath the engine like some models? I'm a bit rusty on the FB-EKs so not sure if they had the splash aprons like EJ-EH. There might be too much cool air coming from underneath and cooling the engine while travelling. In theory, if a thermostat is working ...
