better off buying one that is done and rebuilding that one...cheaper.

Its in a UC so you are hamstrung from the start...it won't pass rego unless it has functioning emissions gear....that doesn't mean you can't make it go hard.

I bought a 208 off ebay for $60

you could change to a blue motor or:

you want a yella terra head,

2 1/4 -2 1/2 inch exhaust,

a little bit bigger than stock cam (don't go too big..no point having a cam that works from 3000 to 6500 when it cant rev over 5000)


you don't want to waste all your dough only to find you can't get rego.

Right Matt,

I've built a pretty hot six for my LC, Which I have ran a 13.5@101mph, It goes very very well for a little six and is built to be revved, It'll hit 7000 revs in all gears except 5th as I haven't been game to keep it going and yes it does still make power at 7000 RPM. It has got a 12 second pass in it it's just fiddling.

I have spent around $3,500 with out carbies, Im running 45mm Dellortoes which you can pick up if your lucky for around $1000.

Let me know if you want the specs and I'll PM them to you with rough estimates on costs...

Keep the sixs alive and show them SS Commy's and STi's Whose Boss

Cheers

Les

Hey guys, Knoth PM'd me for the specs of my motor so I thought i'd just put them here for all.

Matt - I know it may be hard to steer away from a red motor, but it depends what you want, The blue motors have a better crank, bigger clutch plate on the flywheel, stronger rods and better flowing head in the 12 port. Another advantage of the blue is with the better rods it also runs bigger conrod bolts which is a must if you want to rev the thing. Personally i'd go with a blue motor if I was building something tough, Otherwise for a nice streeter with not too much grunt a red might do fine.

You can use the blue motor rods and flywheel, but I'd rather run a 12 port head than the 9 so why not go blue and get the better crank aswell. My Head is a stage 3 12 port yella terra head shaved .060 thou and with the ports taken out to match the gasket and manifolds, also running 1.5 ratio yella terra rollers.

Mine was built fairly cheaply but I think and it helped knowing a few people in the business. The motor has been awesome so far, it has done about 6000km and I haven't had any problems with it yet, only needing 24 volts to start the thing for the first time. It rev's pretty hard and pulls strong past 7000 rpm, On the burnout pad once the revs are up in 3rd gear and you give it a quick dab it shoots straight up to around 7500 rpm which sounds pretty awesome.

Here's the Specs

Blue 202 Block, Acid Dipped, Crack Tested, Bored 0.030", Decked 0.004".
Crank Ground, Polished
ACL Race Series Bearings and Moly Rings
Starfire Rods, Hypertek Flat Top HQ race pistons 0.030"
High Energy Sump
39/79 Solid Crow Cam and Lifters, Works from around 3500 - 7000
Crow Straight Cut timing Gear
VK Electronic Distributor
Stage 3 Blue Motor Yella Terra Head, Matchported, Polished and shaved 0.060"
Yella Terra Roller Rockers 1:5 ratio
45mm Dellortos on matchported Redline manifold
Pacemaker Extractors, Matchported, into 2 1/2in exhaust with 3 inch sidepipe.

They were the Specs of the motor when it ran the 13.5 second 1/4. Sinces then I've added,
a Yella Terra Steel Explosion Proof Lightened Flywheel,
Pro-Comp Multiple Spark Ignition Unit,
Pro-Comp PC-91 Coil
and now have a set of 8 inch slicks so I may get some traction. The Carbies have also finally been tuned as they were way out when i had it at the track so hopefully with this I can drop a bit more off the 13.5 and sneak into a 12 second pass.

Cheers

Les

Just about the cam you have chosen, it is a nice step for a basic rebuild to get a bit more power if your going to use a larger carby but it is still pretty mild, I am running the same cam but about to change for a larger one as im not happy with the performance and it doesnt pull well in the higher revs.

Cheers Matt

Slightly on topic. What are Yella Terra Heads? I know what Yella Terra brand roller rockers are.. but a head? Is it a complete custom head (ie throw away the old one)?
Are they expensive?

Same questino kinda for when people say 'stage 3 head' or whatver?

Please excuse my newbieness. I'm only new to mechanics!

the best 9port you can afford, cam and good pipes. I have a 300hp 202, pretty stock, good head, cam, custom pipes and a set of CD2's. I have spent near $2500 to rebuild the bottom end, and it's still in bits
