I have just cc'd my cylinder heads and they aren't the size advertised (58cc instead of 64cc). My static compression is now 11.3:1 and dynamic is 8.6:1. Will 98 octane be good enough? Can anyone give me some input or should I just get chambers taken out to 64cc.
Note: I have imported these heads from the states and it'd be a sh@t fight to return them.
Another note: I have contacted seller and waiting for a reply.

Anybody for a fully restored 350 HQ Coupe? Looks pretty good.

Hey guys I still have this HZ salisbury diff for sale.
It has has the sadle mounts for a HK,T,G
Was under the bum of my HK Premier with 350 sbc, th350.
Never had any dramas with the diff just put a 9 inch under because I had one laying around plus im looking at upping the rwhp a bit.
Diff is complete drum to drum but when I was removing it the brake line broke as it had been on the car for a fair while. Non LSD.
It also comes with wheel nuts and I have the tailshaft to suit as well.
Open to offers just leave me an email mnazzari@hotmail.com or call me on 0431321785 an just ask for Matt,
Diff located Newcastle NSW

Hey peoples.... I know this question has probably a hundred times but i'm just gonna ask again.. I've been googling the [Naughty Pottyword] out of this question in every kind of format and its not giving me a direct answer, so would anyone here know if the HJ came out with a factory 350?? I remember reading years ago that early models were given this option to get rid of old stock left over from the Q's. The reason for asking is im looking at dropping a 350 in my sandman ute and want to get it registered with the 350 here in Western Australia, but if it wasn't a factory option it could be a pain in da butt getting it registered, but not impossible....

Thoughts????

Engine, transmission in. Ceramic coated extractors picked up today and installed. All without scratching the paint. Chassis rails POR15, firewall 2 pac. Black is a chit of a colour to photograph.
Not much left to do............LOL.
Cheers

Hi guys
Putting the extractors back on using extractor gaskets but I also want to use some gasket sealer with it. Any suggestions. Wife bought home some Loctite Copper Maxx hi temp but it says not recommended with gasoline or exhaust systems. Recommendations??

Cheers

have pulled the front end out of the lx and was wondering how you go about removing the springs safely?

i have used spring compressors but it doesnt look like they will fit? or am i wrong?

can someone talk me though it.

Having fun on the Mackay Rubber webpage
Just wanna find out why upper coolant hose seems too short for the 350 wagon. They have supplied part # CH881 OEM part 2809898
But this webpage & the other one I found are hopeless.
I have a fine spline 3 core radiator that is the stock thickness, I reakon the hose may fit the fatter aftermarket type radiator OK but this one looks like it could rip the hose fitting right off the radiator, it is that tight?

Hi guys, just wanting some information on what i guess is quite a common conversion. I have a HZ 6cyl with a 3 speed manual and want to drop in a v8. I know 350 chev motors drop straight into HQ's, is it the same with HZs. Either that or just a 308, are they straight forward conversions?? Thanks for any info

my plate to match car $1500 can look anyway you want.holdenhorsepower@yahoo.co.nz

Hey guys, Im having a bit of a head scratching exercise with my 9 inch in my HK Prem. Now where the fill point use to be at the rear of the diff the fill point has been welded up. Now I still have the breather tube at the top of the diff but my question is how do I know when I have enough in it? Is it ok to fill it nilly to the top of the breather pipe? Or should I just guestimate how much to put in there?
Thanks

Rebuilding my Monaro. Rubbing back the chassis for painting, I came across these stampings. Just up from the engine mounts near the welds for the chassis piece going from the firewall to bumper mounts. Driver's side. Anybody have any idea? Looks like 5J34 or 5J84.

Cheers

Was watching an old Dave Allen sketch on youtube.

Have a look what falls out of the sky at 2.10

350 Chev, just installed, still using the running in oil. Nearing 450km since installation.

2.6 ratio 10 bolt Statesman diff.

Went for a long drive today to keep running in the engine, I made sure to run the engine under load to settle in the rings. When there weren't Camrys slowing me down (40km/h in 60 zones in a forest, WTF??) I opened the throttle after every corner. It was exciting, to say the least. When the revs are high, especially in 3rd gear (Supra box), it just flies and the car responds so well. Old Holdens are engineered so well for the entire car to handle engine conversions. Got to love them.

Painstakingly calculated tonight that my total journey was about 252km, I used about half a tank of fuel, so online calculated 15litres/100km, or 18 miles per gallon.

HAPPY NEW YEAR GUYS,

Hi all and merry christmas
I had two add one more sorry Ambon just to push your bad joke down the page.
I have just fitted up my panels and have an cleaner coming thru my bonnet and it is about just over 10mm off centre to the passenger side is this normal or do I need to screw around with the engine mounts a bit to centre it up.......

Cheers Smitty

Hi im appealing to the holden public and faithfull out there in finding out more information and photos or links to 2 gmh styling department cars. Both cars where built at the same time at different plants the first car is an LJ XU1 TORANA BUILT IN ADELAIDE. ADR is 1/72 and was first registered in july 1974 with rego number LXE 826. The second car is a HQ GTS MONARO 350 COUPE fully optioned and was featured at the sydney motorshow in 1972 there is a picture of the car in modern motor magazine issue november 1972. The ADR on that car is also 1/72 and was first registered in may 1973 with rego number LMS 005. both cars share the same unique paint code that cannot be found in any of the current dulon acrylic paint formulas.
