Went to eastern creek today to watch and support my good close friend Ned from Hercules competition engine's take his Holden EH for a few passes down the strip...
Picked up my good friend Matt (SLR 3300) for a good fun day..
Ned's EH has been built from 60's technology bar the new 750 holley carby and victor junior manifold...its runs on 98 octane pump gas.
the car is fitted with a 327 chev,factory iron fuelie heads,.muncie 2.20 ratio muncie rockcrusher gearbox,factory hurst shifter and chev 12 bolt diff 3.55 lsd ..
it still runs on its original kingpin front end,..it uses 14in bob jane radial road tyres.205/60.
the car's basic appearance standard light blue white roof bench seat,standard steering wheel,stock dash gauges bar a hidden smiths temp gauge.
this was the first time out for this car..
first run 11.5 @ 126mph
second run 11.3 @ 126 mph
third run 11.3 @ 127.5 mph
these runs were done near 30 degree heat,..with the engine bogging cause of the gearing and the fear of totally smoking the tyres and the clutch...
kinda like trying to walk on egg shells..
the car's gearing is way to tall but he said he was building a strong street cruiser...with a set of 3.90 gears and slicks and better cooler conditions this car would be a mid ten second car with the slightest of ease as Ned's a master driving...and a brilliant STICK SHIFT DRIVER...pretty impressive guys what do think
