- In this episode we have dragged an old abandoned Kustom EK wagon known as "Eddie" home. Eddie ran a supercharged norman grey motor back in the day but has been sitting out in a country backyard for the last 15 odd years. Sadly the blown grey is no longer fitted but follow us as we try and revive old Eddie and have a bit of cheap fun with him at some upcoming mud run/dirt drag style events.

Excellent car, great work
The wagon looks tidier than I imagined it to be. Nice up grade on the motor😆👍😆👍
It’s not terrible but it’s more work than I’m prepared to go through at this stage. Still a bit to get done on the FB and the boss wants the van done by Temora. Will get it running and driving again and then it might end up on the market. Can’t keep them all unfortunately
When it comes to motors better red than dead. I had a blue EK ute before the wagon that had a mild 179, a HR disc brake frontend and drag racing suspension that ended up with a hp 179 bored to 192 with a 25/65cam, solid lifters, a stage 3 Yella Terra head, a Holley 500cfm 2 barrel jetted to suit and extractors wit a 2 inch exhaust with 2 big Lukey mufflers to keep it quiet. It was built by Noel Tuckey in 1976 before he went on to write for Street Machine. That motor could do 135mph flat chat. I hit a cow late 76 so my mates and I replaced all the front and passenger door except the drivers guard as the original was better than the replacement. I had it painted black which really set off the 14 inch ROH wildfire mags and white tarp. After the Ek wagon I had that motor in a HD wagon.
Had one of them in1977-78.
The V8s hated my ute back in 1976-77, lol. I used to blow them off easily.
The one I had was that green too.
Gee they did a rough job on the engine mount 😮😅
Came out easier than the engine. I think sitting around rusting away for the last few years hasn’t helped. Lucky I don’t need that bit 😂
@Greyghost_138 yeah was thinking the same, you gona sell it? Yes sweet it's not needed then, putting the old side plate in?
Unsure of the long term plans at this stage. I have a FB wagon that’s close to completion with an LS conversion in it so I don’t know I want to take on another big build just yet. Will get it running with the grey motor out of my other wagon, have a bit of fun and see what happens. Perfect candidate for a gasser build or if someone wants to put the effort into it, it would be able to be saved with the usual rust repairs etc.
@Greyghost_138 ok got ya totally understand, let me know if you go to sell it, and I'm sure you will have it in your videos when im watching 🍻🍻🇦🇺🦘🏔🌧
