Running in the new engine in my brothers HJ Monaro... you have to load the rings up constantly to get them bedded in properly. The tunnel is a good place to listen for pinging under load also. All done at or below speed limits...

  • Looks like its carrying a bit of power ay ur pullin past those cars with ease

  • @09chocko09 ...and this was just tickling the gas... was it's first day on the road with the new 355... also had the low pressure valve springs for run on period. It's done a low 12.6 1/4 mile on the street tyres... with slicks it could probably get pretty close to 11's... if the Gearbox can handle the slicks... he's already broken one Toyota gearbox on street tyres.

  • if its burning oil why don't you re graph the dizzy?

  • That's all been done on the dyno... has a MSD 6AL.

    Been fixed now... Oil rings hadn't bedded in because original hone was not that good... plus apparently a PCV valve ( or something similar) was not working quite right and adding to the bit of oil smoke... all good now thanks.

    It's going down the 1/4 again in a week and a half's time... hopefully my brother can set a new PB... Stay tuned..!!

see all

  • @LJTorry5000 - nothing special actually, the mufflers are some cheap brand with Tri-Y headers. The Holden 308 has always had a pretty good noise, guess the tunnel also helps make even mild exhausts sound good.

  • @FalconXE302 Sounds great! What exhaust did it have in this vid then?

  • i love that tunnel when ur on a car cruise omg the noise

  • sounds wicked

  • It's a 308 Block bored and stroked to 355ci... 750 Demon carb... and is about to go back to the mechanics for some new rings and at the same time 4 into 1 Pacemaker extractors. The mechanic wasn't 100% happy with the original cylinder finish and thought it might burn a little oil. He was correct, but it still ran excellent. The new rings and cylinder prep are all being done as "warranty". Thanks for the comment...

  • Very nice :) What kind of engine has your brother put in it? sound nice :)
