Re: Banjo LSD centre

The LSD in my V8 SS Torana was course spline, I broke a few axles.
The LSD in my XU1 Torana was a fine spline. It never worked properly so I had it rebuilt.

Re: FB wagon

Thanks for the heads up. WA is a bit too far away but I have joined the facebook page and sent the seller a request for more information and some photos. So far no response, a car in that condition and price I would bet is already sold, hopefully to a good home, but if not it would be perfect for ...

Re: FB wagon

Thanks guys, both of those wagons look great but they unfortunately they are out of my price range.

Like I said in my original post - "Please let me know what you have, I would like to spend 6 to 8 grand"

I am looking for a complete wagon that needs work, I plan on building a hot grey motor for ...

Re: FB wagon

I am still looking.
I would be willing to do a swap with the FX if someone comes up with a decent wagon.

Re: Harv's grey motor Yella Terra head thread

On my way down to see Greg at Hydroblast with my EJ head today I called into Perfectune to talk about grey heads and would they be prepared to do a run of them.
The first guy didnt know what I was talking about so he went and got a more knowledgeable bloke that said that they rarely do cast iron ...

Rob Webster now owns and runs Martini heads in Bundoora was a former employee of Perfectune and knows his ...

Best Grey motor head to use?

What is the best casting to start with when modifying a Grey motor head?
I have a few here and I hot tanked a std, un machined head today with intentions of porting it, fitting red motor valves, duel springs etc.
I know the early ones had the GMH logo on them, later heads had Holden, EJ heads have ...

Re: FB wagon

My Dad had a EK with a hot grey motor in it back in the 60s too. I have been collecting up Grey motor spares now for years in prep for my own hot grey, I have a Speco triple Stromberg set I am itching to use. :D
