- We now have the motor in the car and turning tires. Was a lot of mucking around to get things to work the way we wanted, but with the help from@thomasbovalina we managed to get it all in the car and running in around a week.
Good to see young men playing with old school machines love it
Thankyou. I live and breath it.
It's fun working on these legends, Soooo good to see them all on our roads
Great work man, well done. Nothing beats an Aussie HQ 👌
Great to see the ' Old- Girl ' running so sweet. Had a 1970 Monte Carlo with the stock 305 and only a few bolt on parts. The thing I loved most was putting a B&M shift kit in it . I was not posi like yours, but would squat -N- git pretty well if one stomped on it off the line then chirp the tyres in all gears. Tried to get a proper Australian Holden ute in the US and do a similar build to yours. I failed and moved to Japan to work, then here. Never been able to get a Holden ute here. Some guy at a used car lot tried to sell me this silly Pontiac fronted thing that had been left underwater for a long time in some tropical flood here and ruined. He asked me for $16,000.00 back in 2015 I think it was. Rubbish. I am holding out for a proper Australian Holden V8 ute. I like the 80's ones best of the ones I've seen. This Ozzy pro named Luke Egan had one just like I am trying to find that I saw in a late 80's or early 90's Australian Surfing World magazine. It was just right for me. It had a sort of ivory or bone coloured paint job. You may be familiar with this online photo. Just looks really ideal for me.
Man that sounds good . Also good on you for being sympathetic to your neighbours . Enjoy that ride .
Dude, your video was awesome!
Great work! 👍
It was like just 'raw' to the point.
I'm playing with Ebikes/ Scooters. ;)
Stay in touch.
Awesome work mate and so good to see her running, great build!
I love how casual chev blocks have 4 bolt mains.. such beautiful bases to work with along with the vast aftermarket
I got lucky with the 4 bolt mains. Seen plenty of 2 bolts but 4 bolts are running out.
Great looking Ute. 👌 Love your work.
Thanks man.
Good on ya boys, great achievement! Good to see some young blokes having a go.
Great work mate. One tip, if you are going to hide your number plate in the vid you need to do it every time. There are eyes out there. Enjoy. Good to know there are young fellas out there still working on this stuff.
Good work Joe
Keeping well with the content.
Cheers take care
Great job Joe, you young bloke havin fun with yesteryear shit is great to see. Small block Chev's in HQ's was the thing to do when i was your age. Keep at it mate.
Cheers man. Is defiantly great fun and gets up and goes.
@@Joedennett69 I also have a HQ ute thats rather well used and giving it a freshen up as we speak, poxy 202 hopped up with celica 5speed, and some other dumb stuff, it's just awesome some young peeps get into these things without having to LS turbo the world.
Got a mate down here in Tassie with one of these….. dart block, a turbo you can stick your fist into, 1000+ bhp, all the bells and whistles…. Goes like shit off a chrome shovel …. Nice one you have here too…….👍👍👍
Great work Joe she Sounds and Looks F@#king Trick keep the Videos coming Bloke you always have great content and information for Engine builders and Car enthusiasts alike keep up the good work mate and cheers.
Thankyou. Guys like yourself make creating these videos worthwile. Cheers.
Love a HQ I had one in the 90s till a granny in HK t boned it parked outside my home and wrote it off...I loved that car only 20000 miles on it when I got it with sanden underdash AC too...
..have you still got your licence 😂😂😂
That late night part. There’s always one more thing and then one more after that! Good stuff.
Keen to see how you like that 3000 rpm stall and how it runs.
The 3000 stall drives nicely on the street. But when you lay the throttle down it gets up and goes. I ran the same stall in the old motor and it did feel like it did rob some HP compared to the stock converter. But acceleration has definitely improved with the 3000 stall.
@@Joedennett69 awesome to hear. I have a 286 cam in a 308 and considering the same converter. Keen to see some footage! Thanks.
Great car. Just wanted to warn you about buying and using super cheap parts from China . I am not talking about Taiwanese parts which I've used without regretting it on my little 2T scooters. Got cheap 68 something cc cylinder from China and it blew up with a flaming " bang! " on a routine ride home from work. Even small things that are cheap can ruin your life. Bought a 1970 Oldmobile Cutlass with a new father and son rebuilt 350 and on a drive from Florida to California the soft aluminum timing gear's soft teeth wore out as I was cresting a hill in Lac Cruces, New Mexico watching a desert sunset thinking about a big beefy enchilada and rice and a few cold beers. It just stopped moving. In about 2 hours the Border Control officer; Joe a fellow surfer who had been to Costa Rica and Baja and like me wanted to go to Australia to surf drove me to the nearest mechanic- servo ( a Shell I think it was ) and recommended that I keep trying to get to Australia to surf and he'd see me there. Cheers!
Thankyou. All the parts that make the car actually move and have stress put on them, I've used reputable manufacturers or AUS or US made. Pistons being the acception, but have herd of people using them without issues, and ive had no issues so far with common pulls to 6000rpm.
@@Joedennett69 Excellent. Are Borg -Warner and/ or Wiseco pistons available in OZ? You all probably have Australian made ones better than that nowadays. Are there any good surf spots nearby your place? Cheers.
Nice mate awesome ute
sounds nice & crisp mint job joe
Thankyou. Running the best it ever has
Looks and sounds tough mate, built yourself a nice little streeter there. Looking forward to more content
Tank you. yes more content to come.
Good job mate.
Great video mate!
Good video Mate
We used to use those heads on our race cars. I also did the engine building. Those combustion chambers like about 38 degrees total timing. The initial needs to be 15 at a minimum. Im not sure how much your distributor will allow for advance curve in degrees.
keep on eye on those spark leads touching the headers
so do it bro.::)
and tail lights. ;)
Beautiful car buddy! be interested to see how a 650 would go on it as a 750 might be a little too big.
Thankyou. Just used the 750 as i already had it.
A WB front would fix it. :)
Nice 👍🇦🇺✅💯
That thing would handle like a scared Dog on lino. Heavy front light rear.
Does what it needs to do.
mates got a purple 350 hq panel van. he won't let any photos of it taken to be put on net .let alone his sandman
I meant to say squares.
Fucking mint

So.
Sew.
Ah so.
sounds mit
So why the mania for a massive fuel sucking V8 , big deal , this is just basterdising an original piece of Australian motoring history.
You know you dont have to watch it if you dont want too.
twink
damn right screw this kid. just adding to the on going issue of global warming
So what? Nothing unusual about having a 350 donk in a Holden.
Did it have to be unusual?
@@Joedennett69 what's so special about it?
Nothing. But i like it. I wanted a HQ with a v8. Im only 18 mate chill out.
@@Joedennett69 OK, I get it, first hot car and all that, good on ya.
