G'day Gaz

I am a new member and I am interested in putting a V8 in my FB sedan, do you have any recommendations.

Your feedback would be most appreciated

Hi James.

Istly: My advice would be change the config of your email address to prevent the spammers. Direct links on the net are not good, for all to see.

2ndly: I'm not Gaz, but I like the Chev V8. 350's are not being allowed to be fitted in NSW the largest being 327, and most other states as well, to my knowledge.

Mick( Harry186) can tell you all about Holden V8's as he has done quite a few and my next project will be just that.

Here is a link:

Regards

James

Thanks Muza and Searsy, was great fun to build the Black Beast, she currently has the Powerglide out so the flex plate can be replaced, with the high compression of 11.5:1 it stops in exactly the same spot everytime I shut her down and after 22,000 klms it has destroyed about 12 teeth on the flex plate from the starter engaging the same teeth over and over again, anyway it is an easy fix and should be back together this afternoon as it has an appearance at Don's Automotive and Performance display at the Sunassist Motor Show on Sunday.... time to rattle some windows

I've just started reading your thread and looking at your latest pics.

I'm a bit worried about this:



Um, it looks like your frame rail is cracked right through just behind your linkage mount. I hope I'm seeing it wrong
