That’s Glen and Micks cars. Glen’s full house, accumulator, crank trigger etc. definitely not over carbed with the triple Weber’s. Micks is a 390, best carb on a warm six.

Looks like 2 carbys to me

[claysummers]

He only had one on there last I looked. It’s a red. Yes that might be over doing it. I don’t think he would run it down the strip but Glens sedan does. 173 block bored and stroked to 202. Shortened Borg Warner rear, manualised trimatic, landcruiser front calipers, p76 rotors, unboosted.

800 cfm on a 6 cylinder streeter? Guys with hot 308's get bagged for that much cfm.

[claysummers]

I’m told not by the owner that it apparently runs well and is fairly economical so there you go. I would have thought twin strommies would be more so.

173 cast in usual spot as I recall, not 2.8. Therefore a red.

Blue 173 block from a WB ute with blue 202 crank.

I can put my bit in on the twin 390s.... I helped fit them as an experiment with the guy who has the black FB, they started 1st turn of the key and ran like a swiss watch, never going to be a world beater as too much CFM but looked different and actually worked good. The big problem was weight and keeping manifold gaskets tight on it. As far as I know its back to the single 390 again for now. Glens with the tripple webbers is an animal! It flys! deffo not over carbied that one.

[claysummers]

Yes Glens FB is a serious beast

No such thing as a WB 173. 173/2.8 was dropped from Holden back in HJ. Only blue 2.85 was in Commodore.

[claysummers]

Just what Glen told me. Anyway is a blue 173 out to 3 5/8” and 202 crank.

RS2000 pistons I think they can use from an old memory

[yel327]

Which makes it a 202, but if you don’t want to bore that far an RS2000 pistons is the right in height from memory at a smaller bore.

[claysummers]

Yes and 186. So maximum standard bore size. A reason why used 173 and used to be 179 were a good option for rebore. Bore to 3 5/8. Fit new pistons.

3.575” for the RS2000. Pretty sure they have the same pin height as a 202. Can get them forged too from memory.
