he he, and sounds like no red six I've ever heard... it's mental!!

[GTR600]

Using the small block chev high volume type,

does the job for mine but they dont look the best.

[TerrA LX]

Give Marielli performance in Belar st Yamanto or Churchill a call (07) 3812 0544 they sell E85, around $54 ...

Jeez that's tuff, they sell it here at the pump for around $1.30.

heavy 9" too.

in all honesty, the 9 inch was a step forward, higher ratio gears available for starters, and the weight difference between full spool 9" and mini spooled borgwarner was minimal.
and you dont have a worry with it either, unlike borgwarners and replacing gears every 2 meeting, has anyone else had that problem too?

Are you guys running mechanical or electric fuel pumps?

I'm using a factory VK type and am concerned it won't do the job at higher revs.

And do Chev small block fuel pumps bolt straight up?

Is this what you're using?

I can't see the number on the box but I reckon that one is G7736?
A In this pic is G7736
B Is similar to what you are running? (Not exactly the same, just a comparison pic)
C Is G4044

This from the Goss catalogue:

VC, VH, VK 80-86 6cyl ‘blue’, ‘black’ 2.85,3.3L carburetted - standard replacement metal top pump see Tip below G7736 5 940KT 6

VB, VC, VH, VK 78-86 6cyl ‘red’, ‘blue’, ‘black’ 2.85,3.3L carburetted - uprated pump - high fl ow/standard pressure see page 163 G4044 4 nr

Unfortunately, the catalogue doesn't go up to page 163, it stops at 159.

I'm with you and would rather run mechanical, G4044 is what I have on the Bombadoor, but I'm only feeding a 350 Holley.

Another forum member has a G4044 fitted with triple 175's and reports no problems.

[GTR600]

Thats the one im running rodomo as in you picture,

I think there on the cheaper end of the market but run the triples with a reg on the original fuel lines with no worries.

its not a chev sorry dont have a part number.

Never even considered electric i really wanted to stick with the class bowl.

Was always told if i was going to change diffs to go borgwarner before the 9" because of weight when running a six,but i think these other cars are in a different

field and therefore . ITS CHEAPER IN THE LONG RUN

vh slx
Engine blue 202

Induction standard 12 port manifold webber downdraught off xe

Exhaust genie extractors that are a shithouse fit and fouled everywhere

Cam wade 242a

[gtrboyy]

Engine red 202

Induction aftermarket pushrods,hi vol oil pump..basic stuff,whatever broke got upgraded.

Exhaust crappy genie headers(seemed too small) 2 1/2 exhaust with a straight through muffler

Cam Arthur Johnstone solid

Compression We never checked,had 40 thou pistons...could have used more comp for the cam in it imo.

Head xu1 head that copped alot of port work,larger valves,dual springs

Power adders cain manifold,triple webbers,longer ram tubes,electronic dissy...chev fuel pump.

1/4 mile and mph Pb was a 13.1 at old eastern creek track

Driveline m20,lightened/chopped up flywheel,modified 1 tonner clutch & 3.90 bango

Cousin in law did a 14.1 when he owned it with a hydraulic cam,m21,3.08 single wheeler.A mate & I did gave the engine a speed rebuild,also changed a few things when I was still apprentice mechanic.Went hard for what it was & didn't cost much either,probably had a high 12 in it if I'd experimented more...got sick of breaking driveline then did the efi 5l conversion.

Must admit I enjoyed driving the car more as a triple webbered six,surprised alot of people at just how quick it was back then.

[Heath]

I need to put something together

[orangeLJ]

acl race series flat tops bearings and gaskets, starfire rods, balanced and blue printed

lightened flywheel

186 style head - high comp, rocker studs pinned, factory style adjustable rockers, SBC double spring, slightly bigger Stainless valves, unleaded inserts.

10.2 compression

465 Avenger series Holley on Cain manifold

big duration solid cam ex 85-44 in 45-84 .475 lift

locked blue dizzy

cast headers with 60" primaries

made 115 rwkw

That figure makes me VERY happy about my last combo.

202, 30 though over

about 8.5:1 compression

running a 356661 camshaft from this link
http://www.crowcams.com.au/media/catalogues/30.2%20Holden%206%20All.pdf

Holden stage 3 head, mild portwork

triple 1.75" SUs on long runner manifolds and running rich as shit

HPC coated extractors and a press bent 2.25" exhaust

Holden elec ignition and an old MSD 5 spark box

Made 94kW at the wheels and definitely had alot more in it with some more left in it (better tune etc)



New combo is shitloads quicker (when I get it running right!)

so will be interesting to get it on the dyno and tuned to see what it pulls.
