Don't flame me !!!!!!!!!!

OK, here goes !

I have watched with some interest the "poor mans" turbo setup on a 253 and even some 308's discussed here.....

Anyway.....and here is the don't-flame-me-part....seeing as a lot of you chaps have considerable mechanical experiance with these things on all sorts of engines.....

Just say someone had an XY ford and just suppose they scored a halfway decent 302 + C4 to shove in it and lets presume they wanted to toy with the idea of some sort of cheap and nasty blower/hairdryer setup to have a bash with (and lets also pretend that if the old 302 were to blow its mind in 3 months well, we wouldn't shed TOO many tears).....

...what would you suggest as a setup ?...

blue vs red rockers

Is there a difference between rockers on red sixes and blue sixes?
I have a set of roller rockers that I no longer need, I was told they are to suit a blue motor so I didn't use them when I built my new motor.
Any one want them? (for a price)

Cheers, Tom

Organising Pictures in my Shed

Forgive my ignorance, but how can I group the random images in my shed so that I have one album for my HG pics and another for my EH pics and another for other stuff etc? I've tried but have run out of talent and my daughter is only 2yo so is no help .

Holden Special Vehicles HSV VT 195i Clubsport 5.0lt V8

Last of the Holden V8's.

Genuine HSV plated VT 195i Clubsport #911.

Has travelled only 205,XXXkms and was blue slipped 6 months ago and passed straight away with nothing needed.

Herron white paint in good original condition with minimal stone chips and scratches on the lower sections of the front bar.

All standard Clubsport features plus twin 2.5" X-Force exhaust.

The 195kw 5.0lt engine makes plenty of power and the auto box shifts gears well.

I just spent $1000 on a new alternator and wiring and a heavy duty battery.

All brakes, steering, suspension, lights and other electrics, etc. are in good working order.

its about the size of a 125 motor, but its both kick and electric start

only number on headstock is *lb5pk8.....*
there is a barcode sticker on the engine, and the engine number is fti56fm1

its a proper road/trail type bike

HP 308, whats the story?

I was walking through a wrecking yard toady (Adelaide) and came across a early commodore, with a short holden v8 in it. four inch bore, oh is it a 308? look at the side of the block and it had 'HP' cast on the side of it. Had a look inside the car and there was a pair of big port/big valved heads equipped with double valve springs to go with it. My question is, does anyone know what this motor may have originally came out of? its painted blue but anyone could have done that. If an any one wants to know where it is i will tell them, it doesn't bother me.

Car for sale

Had my old Ford in the paper for sale today, I figured I would maybe get a call about it by monday if any calls at all. But by 7am I had 4 callers all wanting it sight unseen. I was blown away by this I just gave it to the first caller and if he stuffs me round ill call the 2nd guy back. He is coming in a hour so we wil see if he is FOS or genuine. Ive never had such a fight over one of my cars its usualy weeks before I find a buyer.

btw its a 1936 Ford with minor upgrades such as 302w and bigger brakes etc painted matt black. Very sad sale but im putting a new room in my house and needed a quick easy sale

Need some advice/help on setting up a choke linkage for triple SU carbies?

Just got a set of triple SU 1-3/4" carbies organised with a manifold and a throttle linkage kit. Got all the extras like the fuel block & fittings, lines, air cleaners and all. But I need to setup some kind of choke system/linkage.

Looking to do an upgrade from the Holley.

Any ideas???

Cheers!
