Nice to see an Aussie doing really informative vids like this. I had no idea you could still get replacement panels for something like this either and why I have always been hesitant to invest in a such a project. I kinda thought most stuff was remade manually by a skilled panel beater from sheet metal. Where do the panels come from? This really has opened my eyes for a future project where I might not need to buy multiple cars to make a good one. Thanks for all the work and effort to make this video, I'll be watching the series from the start now. You legend.
@beano9343 hey Beano! So glad you found my content! Yeah mate you can get most rust repair panels from multiple companies now days, I used "Rare Spares" company for these panels, they offer pretty much everything for restorations, some things are better than other things.. but generally they offer decent stuff. That's awesome mate that you might have more viable avenue now to do some restorations! It's my pleasure mate, comments like these are the "warm and fuzzy's" I get when I can help someone in some sort of way, thanks for the comment and the follow 👍 🍻 -Twisty
I have a zh Fairlane and in the process of going to remove the rust so your channel is really helpful and thank you so much helping me with my project 🙏 351 with a harrop blower.
If you can get a cheap set of these heads for the clevo quote ``` stock 4V intake and mild CJ cam, the Cleveland produced 359 horsepower at 5,700 rpm and 372 ft.-lbs. of torque at 3,800 rpm. After our baseline, we replaced the Elgin CJ cam and 4V intake with a Comp XE284H cam and Edelbrock Performer RPM Air Gap intake. The Comp Cam offered a .584/.588 lift split, a 240/246-degree duration split and 110-degree LSA. The Edelbrock intake was actually designed for the smaller-port, aluminum Edelbrock heads, but worked well on the larger 4V heads. pushing the peaks to 452 horsepower and 412 ft.-lbs. of torque. Given the flow rates, even this modified 351C was just scratching the surface of what OG 4V heads will support! ``` So thats what it would take to get to the 450 HP.. No turbo needed.. Now cost well that's the problem.. 4V stands for “four-venturi”, not for “four-valve” So 4BBL carb heads which you can get more easy in australia then the USA .. Anyways It's possible to do but you got to way turbo cost vs this is what you need to look into..Nothing like a non turbo clevo in the 400 range lol
@IanMicheal thanks Ian for the info! Exactly what I was after, that's decent HP and I reckon I'll be back in a chance to win with this combo, I have no idea what heads are on the 351 currently, any easy way to tell? Doesn't it have a 4 in the corner or something? I can't remember haha
@russelblackwell6041 hahaha the Terminator 🤣💪, haha I think if Lee is building his engine I'll need the 5 seconds head start 😂, awesome comment though mate, cheers! 🍻
Some good info there mate. Also as I've found out on my rusty Holdens, there ain't no substitute for practice. Also chosing your battle. I've spent far too long agonising over welds that no one is ever going to see.....
