Some of you may have seen Harry in the intro forum . and since my Business is in Hibernation like so many down here ! i thought id share what i have been up to and trying to do before my friends in certain areas get locked down.
So like all things when you buy them , many of us like to give them a personal touch something that says WOW to you . So Harry is undergoing some Mods that i want to do to make him what i want , seems he was quite the trailer queen over the last few years........and some things i discovered under the glamour was not done that well (or to a standard that i felt was as good as it should have been)
Its been difficult to get pics of a lot of the work so far with restrictions but this is what I have done so far.
1. got some tyres that meant business ( Pirelli P7 CORSA classic) tyres
rears 285/40/15
fronts 225/50/15
2. then thanks to Wayne at smooth suspension we got some custom King springs made
rear 245 lbs
fronts 750 lbs
with custom Valved Koni shocks from and rear
3. Got some Harrop steering arms and replaced all broken Nolathane bushes in control arms diff mounts etc (all the bottom runs OEM rubber now)
4. Next we took out the Motor and sent it down to Glenn Wells engines to start the Stroker build .
we got a Howards 4" crank to make Harry a 383
Manley Rods
CP pistons
all other bits , bearings etc etc
Nathan Higgins is Building the Heads and fitting S/S valves w/ Pac12 Racing dual Ti springs
He got a Camshaft from the US for me to suit the build and Glenn has now polished it ( 246/263 @.50 , 620 valve lift and 109 LSA)
and we are Using a ACCUFAB throttle body flows 1278 CFM and Super Victor EFI Intake Manifold
new custom sump with oil cooler and remote filter
Lee down at Melbourne Performance Center will tune him when his ready
from there he goes in for a rear spoiler and some minor paint work (classic auto refinishing) with Bruce in Bayswater
4 pt roll cage from Bond
some recaro seats if they ever get released (covid strikes again)
5. got a new F body T56 Magnum 6 speed (if anyone wants to buy a stock T56 and clutch and fly wheel let me know)
and Covid allowing Harry and i get to run around Bathurst in Feb 2021
either way Harry will be trouble free for my lifetime anyway .
I'll get more pics when i can move more than 5 klms..
hope everyone is well and having fun!
