what motor are you going to use????

also, what size are the wheels on it??

[RUNAMUCK]

That ute actually looks way tidier than my dads "road legal" VH ranger uterous.
If you get bored, pull a rocker cover off, and see what the casting number on the heads is, and if it has the adjustable rockers or not.

wheels are 14x6.5. dunno which ones ill use, got a set of standard non charger type ones as well. going to get some wided to heaps, ive got a set of eagers to go on it.

engine will get a spraycan reco, its only a 273, but it runs well, its got a holley 2 barrel and my brothers got a set of headers laying around so thats what it shall recieve.

[sheepers]

spraycan reco FTW!!!!!!!!!

[Steelies]

better do the plugs and HTs for good measure, ala simons wag haha

[RUNAMUCK]

Wow! That rust is very very minimal for a ute!

got an edelbrock performer dual plane. might keep my eyes peeled for a vac sec carb as well- since its not a powerhouse i would like to get reasonable economy out of it

[RUNAMUCK]

Sweetbix. That should have the smaller ports too. Pull your rockers while you're in there, and see if it has the adjustable rockers, and "920" (I think) heads.

I'm no expert, but I'd wager it'll use less gas that your other SBM.

[cletus]

haha yeah hopefully.
checked the block and head casting numbers, couldnt find any info with the block numbers but it is a `67 block, the head casting numbers say they are `68-`72 318 heads, no adjustable rockers. when i was looking for a manifold, there was a factory early 273 4 barrel manifold on the tard,i did some research and the early 273 engine had heads specific to that engine with manifold bolts/threads on a different angle to all the other LA engines.

[RUNAMUCK]

So I'm picking you have 675 casting heads?
I think all the motors that found their way out here did.
If you can stretch your budget to include a new pair of head gaskets, then this is the thread for you- http://www.forabodie... ... p?t=167865
You can get some free horsies right there.

You'll need to get a wagon after this one...

[cletus]

actually was looking for a wagon when this came up..... would be more family friendly.

[ZedHed]

if ur gonna slam it,be sure to check the underbody in the middle,under the seat,mine had a massive crack from years of bumpstop slamage.
That rust in the front lower caps (end of sill) is common as,they all go there.Ther only val ive not seen rust there was my vg coupe.
Looks to be a good honest body for a ute,they tended to get a bit more abuse than the cars and wagons.

[f100_dreamin]

Looking good clint! Will be good to get some pictures of the two vals next to each other when your done. The whole Matt black/gloss white contrast will make for some cool pictures I reckon!

[rot808]

I'm liking this, especially the wide steels plus eagers part
