I'm actually thinking of getting the gearbox out and replacing it with a vnss unit... of course, with high stall converter but rebuilt of course! Yes, the gearbox is a 4 speed already, but it is piss weak. The b&m can be retained during the gearbox changeover... it only requires new wiring.

I went to rare spares today and the guy ran me through some stuff. I'm pissing off the toyota supercharger idea because it limits me! ATM, I'm looking into a cam package with chip, new valve springs (dual, cold forged) and following it up with a ported head (you can't do a shitload to the buick engines, the valve openings are already pretty much oversized) and custom manifold. The guy reccomended fabiettis workshop do the work on my car...

I'm also going to tempe tyres tommorow to look at wheels for my car. I'm deadset on the ones that I'm going o get, but finance is a problem - will post pics once i get them though!

BTW, any of you guys no some car panel beaters to do a spray job for me :D 8g for what I want is a bit out of my limit.......

Fuk, 363 posts already and I just found out about this thread ...

Anyway, just wondering if anyone went to the Sydney Car Festival at Rosehill Gardens this wk/end? What did you thing (if you went)? I reckon it was pretty $$ for $25, considering there was not much there. Heaps of ford gt 351's and escorts ...
