Hi all just some pics of my 1990 VNSS stroker...
The motor is currently in for its tune and I would be upset if it doesnt make 500hp+...
Specs are: VN304 block, bored, torque plate honed, clearanced for 355 crank, COME 355 crank, Scat h-beam rods, pavtek stud girdle, Hi-energy sump... Crane288 came, VN cast heads CNC ported flowing 580hp 2.050in 1.65ex, Yella terra platnium roller rockers, Thats just off the top of my head.. Will put updates up as the come along.... Oh and this has all been happening (waiting) for last 18 mounths!!

hmmm fark this will sound very nice... not to mention go like a shower of shit

LASTND · 05-07-2008, 02:56 PM

Still no news from the tuner hopfully this week... Went and picked up another Val for the old man too day a 1968 VE sedan (for parts/ panels) but it feels wrong to be cutting it up as there arnt many left with this little rust will put up some picks tonight!!!

wabbit · 05-07-2008, 03:23 PM

The commy sounds good, LASTND.

I'd like to see the results, but I'm sceptical about 500 ponies from that.
I'd like to see it, because I have the same capacity and cam for my old bitch. Let's see what heads and injection do.

unfortunately, the old VE sedans were never really sought after. Why would you when the hardtop was so horny?

but, yes. it is a crying shame to see anything like that cut up

LASTND · 05-07-2008, 05:28 PM

Yeah actualy not that big of a fan of the coupes... But i defenitly wouldnt be complaining if the was 1 in my garage!! Yeah the VE is atual being used to restore a 69 VF

LASTND · 05-07-2008, 05:31 PM

Oh I forgot a few other things in the 304 like: SRP forged pistons 10.8:1 comp, the rockers are 1.65:1 ratio, IGNITION: MSD6AL, blaster3 coil, 10mm leads, standard tuned delco...

LASTND · 09-07-2008, 04:46 PM

Getting quotes now on steel for a tilting car trailer. Copingin of the one i hired on the weekend to move the VE Val. Kinda going to need 1 once i get the SS going not that it will be a trailer queen but its a long way to colder and Heathcote.... Not to mention pritty much every car show considering living in south west vic!!!! Need more closer shows etc!

rlj308 · 11-07-2008, 03:21 PM

awsome you are building my dream lol but i want an atlas gray!! i love the vnss hope to have one after i sell the lj! keep up the good work.

LASTND · 24-07-2008, 04:12 PM

I lost the drive there for a while.... Its hard when you carnt do anything but wait and man im getting good at it!! Until the weekend just gone when we went out and melted some tires and suffered a little fire....

Portland in south west vic had a burn out comp and VANTASY came down only did 1 skid and took home the cash.. But the main thing is im motivated again even though i was driving a VL RB30 powered wagon (with a welded diff thanks SCULLY) it still gets the adrenalin going!!!!!!

To the farm this weekend to put a new diff in the BOM and put the VAL on the rotisory! and getting it all cleaned up, rust free and straight!!

Well last thursday the motor finaly got a decent run on the engine dyno but after a little fiddeling only mad 340hp with a drop in torque at 4400rpm but picked up and was fine up to 6000rpm! After more playin and sorting out correct leads and going over the dissy that was advancing to early she racked up 400hp!

Its coming back to the size of the runners on my manifold (not big enough) but the dyno man wants to have more of a play befour we go and put a torque power s/p and 1000cfm! So there might be a hole being cut in the bonnet....

LASTND · 13-10-2008, 06:56 PM

Been a while!! Got some new gear last thursday in the way of a Harrop hi rise single plane and EFI hardware 1000cfm throttle body and to top it off and now hang out the bonnet (second bonnet keep the original 1 with no hole) a 9"x5" K&N air cleaner stainless top for show X-tream for go... running it over to the tuner 2moz night hopefully!! Bought all this as it struggled to make 400fwhp my tt manifold wasnt any good but at least i tryed!

madss · 13-10-2008, 11:11 PM

hey that will a awsome engine

VN V8 Calais · 14-10-2008, 12:32 AM

Sounds like a very tuff motor, how much rear wheel horsepower are you expecting with the different manifold?

Nice Car too!

LASTND · 14-10-2008, 09:38 AM

well im hopein for around 280-300rwkw 375-400rwhp. Or around 480-500fwhp. The ferther i go now the more its getting away from the origanal plane but that wat happens to all of us rite?? Im aiming to run a low 11sec 1/4 then add some nos as the motor was build for it from day 1 and see how far into the tens i can get...

LASTND · 14-10-2008, 04:10 PM

Just a little plug for the guys at EFI HARDWARE. Bought my 1000cfm of them last week a pleaure to deal with over the phone and my parts arrived on time, (unlike some....). Then when i realised i need some more gear it was all sorted monday and in the mail from melb to hamilton and arrived this morning to my shock!!!!
