Brought it as a roller, back when they were cheap and meant nothing. So I was obligated.

Genuine 85k on the clock. I’m more spewing that I binned the interior. Hahah

It should be a good thing I hope, it’s got one of Marks Hq368’s t400’s in also

Sounds like it will go very well mate.
I’ll keep an eye out for it at some car meets when you get it going.

Still love angry n/a they're just a nightmare to keep registered in Sydney after major crackdown on inspection stations last year.

Turbos are fine, all woosh woosh, pop,pop. The hair dryer in the zorst just destroys all the old school hot V8 sound. I'd go blower first.

I've thought...lockdown, let's put Air Con the Buick...which has turned into, yank the engine and trans and fix the frame mount issue I've had for years, oh and add a new front runner system, clean up the engine bay, respray the engine bay, engine, trans, motor has some oil leaks out back of intake gasket so all new gaskets going in it, new plug ;gads and boots, new plug lead separators, add a new stereo and speakers / amps, replace carpet, may get seats done while at it....just for some cool air in summer
