Holy crap Vanwolf, you've really dissected that van!

Here's some not too polished chop and paste I did this morning in Microsoft Paint while procrastinating.. from this..



needs chopping..



too high..



added rear guards, delete door handle & fuel filler..



For a 'real world' chop I think leaning the angle of the front pillars back would work better, plus the front would need extending/customising..

More what have I been up to this month! Lets start at the beginning…. I went to get my CF tuned on a rolling road early Feb, only to be told the compression is up the creek (big time) and it’s all head related. Had a head job (new valves, inserts, machining etc) … yes, keep those thoughts to yourself…. Compression now 140+ ..Went back to the rolling road .. had the dissy re-graphed, new plugs etc and ended up with another 50% HP and better burn. Final numbers were 67.6 HP (50.4 kw) at rear wheels on normal unleaded. Remembering this is a duel rear wheel with a 186, VH dissy (electronic or are they HEI) and traumatic! Max HP was at about 3500 RPM. Happy camper (I think)… Might have to have a serious think about that V8 conversion… any thoughts?

Oh and if anybody saw a certain car race during the last few days... I was the guy in the black top and tan akubra.....  8) 8) 8) ;)

V8 is always an option, but there is also a lot more to be had from a holden 6 if you want to stay that way ?
