VK 202 motor free on gumtree, kelvin grove qld

Free is in the budget, if it's useable.
Haven't found it yet.

Not sure whether your budget would permit it, but what about weber-type throttle bodies and injection?
 
Modern with the old school look.
 
Maybe something like this:   http://www.carbureti...ylinjection.asp
 
Or if you use the 12 port head, what about the injection that comes on the VKs

I would consider a simple system if the price was right.
I've considered the VK setup for a turbo 6, but otherwise I think I'd prefer a NA option.

Umm, silly question....

Have you had a read of Old Johnno's "How to build the hot Holden six"??
You should.
Can't be bothered with the link, just google the above if you haven't.

Yes, been through it a few times.
My thinking is that there are a few people that will have already been down this path, maybe even recently.

If I was building this I'd use a good 9 port head, [email protected]" cam on 108 centres and an SU manifold with TM40-6 carbs. I'd also try to use lightweight pistons and rods. Simple and affordable with a good spread of power.

Well that sounds like a good idea to me.

I've been doing some research in the background have been getting keen on the idea of triple SU's
What's the best way to approach the head?

[Lc69]

So TM40-6 Mikuni? Is that an easy installation?
Very interested to find a picture.....

Contact someone reputable. I get Kevin Brown to do my stuff for me. 

I got a message from him today with some info, thanks mate.

Hey bomber its not a max power manifold but with just port matching and a 500 holley my fj pulled a 13.89 1/4 .don't knock it until you've tried it.

I think he was referring to the VK efi manifold, not the carb manifold.

For curiosity Mick, what is the wet weight of your FJ without driver?

[LC-GTR-1969]

From memory it was 2420lb without me in it.what does yr torana weigh.

2522lb without me in it. Heavy diff, heavy tail shaft, heavy wheels, heavy battery and a lined boot all contribute.

[warrenm]

Yes, sorry.

Your uc goes alright with one though doesn't it warren?

Yes it used to, 130 at the treads with a very mild cam, I sold the car with the stock 173 back in it.

[LC-GTR-1969]

What is the diff.

9 inch...
