Nice build! love it! your description says it has a t400, looks like a 4l60e in there
This is an absolute beast. I love the vr vs Stato shape. It's the best looking stato when done right and also a iron Lion 5L
I wish holden did these in a Wagon. Well done sir I hope she does you well and keeps ya smiling. 😎🍻
Cheers mate! Im still in love with my VR stato which ive had since 2017 now, shes my BABY! VR stato is 100% the best shape and style with its sweet interior before the tacky woodgrain took over in the later VS models. Best thing todo would buy a 5.0 wagon and put the stato front end on it MMMMMM
Awesome stuff mate! Would you be able to give us an insight on how much you spent on the motor alone with this build and what numbers you got from your dyno run. Cheers
Gday mate! Cheers for WATCHING! As for $, it was mates rates and i did as much as i could myself, Average costs like this for the engine works is around 10K mark, I will be getting the dyno done before summer so stay tuned as ill make another dyno vid showing everything!
Awesome video, music, and of course a classic aussie v8 rebuild
CHEERS MATE! Took a fair few mths of filming different parts so i could put it all together! Cheers for watching and stay tuned for the DYNO vid coming soon.....
Is it the end build or have you more in mind. Bigger injectors, up graded computer system.....
Looks as f..k all the same though mate
HaHa thanks for ya positive thoughts mate And YES, this is the build that i wanted mate, I was after a tough sounding reliable family sunday cruiser mate and i got exactly that. I wasn't interested in throwing 25k plus into a 10K car LOL, Shes now got a BIG Crow cam, all new stronger top end, Fully new built tough box and stally, worked heads, bigger valves, 30 tho over flat top pistons, all machined and balanced, New extractors and goes like fuck now even on her soft tune for run in. So yeah, shes not stock like i had mate :) DYNO in the new year then i'll send it
Ive got a vn series 2 , 5lt manual . Had it for 29 years . Your motor sounds better . Can you tell me what you did to it . I might have to freshen mine up .
Cheers mate! Yeah im very happy with how she came up, She had full engine block, crank and heads acid washed and machining and balancing done, 30 thou over rebore, 30 thou JCP flat top pistons and rings, Full crow cam kit which includes CROW 4890 tough idle camshaft, lifters, valve springs, retainers, locks, stem seals, timing chain set, pushrods, larger valves, and high flow oil pump. The oil journals were also cleaned up for better flow. The factory heads were port and polished and CCed for maximum flow and efficacy, All new bearings, welsh plugs, full gasket kit and sump also installed. The banana manifold was HPC coated, and had new gaskets and ARP bolts installed. New Turbo 400 auto stage 2 box built, with 2200 RPM stally to match the new tough idle camshaft, new engine mounts and pacemaker extractors fitted to my already built full custom twin 2.5" exhaust, running into twin 3" dumps out the rear. I also have the MACE air cleaner box up front with a K&N pod filter which makes a big difference over stock. Shes currently on a soft tune for the next 1500kms, before i drop the oil and then send it on the DYNO. Shes like a completely different ride now even on the soft tune, she sounds tough as and the whole car shakes at idle.
Wow man one of the best stato project videos I've seen yet so cool to finally see the full build an in-depth look into what goes in a full engine rebuild 👏🤘🔥PS. good to see my engine sump went to a good home looked mint 😉
HaHa CHEERS MATE! Yeah she came up mint af and im stoked AF! Ill get the dyno in the new year at some point when i get the KMS up. And yeah the sump makes it aye LOL
@@jazrad666 yeah the dyno tune will blow you away once it's done 🤘🤤
OHHH MAN IM HANGIN!!!!@@shanefitz-gerald1081
My vq statesman runs ok it will need a rebuild one day engoyed the video
Keep saving up mate its well worth it! Mines an absolute BEAST now and is so much fun to drive :)
I hope the missing camshaft welsh plug at 7:43 went in before the flex plate went on.
Good honest video
HaHA 100% mate, the engine builder has been building these 304s up since the early 90s
