[Luke@WSP]

Always liked the VE Dave, it will be awesome to see when the power-up is done.

Yellow ute looks smick, any plans for it?

[saj]

Both those utes look awesome, i love the pic with the M/Ts on it. :bow:

[GTS Listy]

The new ute looks great Dave. Well both utes but you already know I like the green one.

Great to passenger in too. :happy:

Bit of action from a cruise a little while ago where Dave kindly invited me along.
Bit a a shame going around Hidden Valley was slow as it it was clear it would be been some good fun.

Sorry Dave , i get back in my box.:hide:

Been looking for at least a year now for a tidy HQ,my first ute was a HQ,always wanted to run twin blowers,see how we go.

[blown408chev]

Finally found some time to take the Green ute back to Marrano's,loaded it on the truck and took it myself,i dont trust anyone else with it,my wife came for a run to,four and a half days in the truck at only a thousand k's a day.

We were in Sydney for a couple of days but had a fair bit of running round to do,drove out to penrith to get some motorbike bits only to find they were closed for the week.

The plan is to slot another T51R on the other side.

Took it back to Con at Pedders granville while i was there,he fitted a set of XA extreme front struts,new bushes allround and some new sway bars.
It is now in getting the fuse box moved behind the drivers seat and the computer moved to make some room.
New gearbox is being built and diff is ordered.
Sonny is on the case and it was good to catch up with him Murat , Mark and crew again.


Gave the HQ a run at the nostalgia's.
Only ran a flat 12 @ 115,the diff is way to short and it was running out of legs with about 3 sec to go.
Some idiot forgot to turn the nos on and was also to stupid to back off and blew a hole in no 6 above the rings ,way to rich,so i am in the process of pulling that out to rebuild it now.

[lee ls1]

eerrrmmm twin T51r's :yahoo: is it going to be a mirror image of the other side? i.e. high mount? and is there going to be a few more psi put through her? :drivin: love your work

[GTS Listy]

Good to see Dave. More fun and more power.

[boyley]

Hey Dave always loved your green machine ever since she rolled off sonny dyno and made its way to darwin. You know it'd love the cold air down here in tassie mate;)

[blown408chev]

Bit of an update .

The HQ is stripped and getting a 4 link ,fullfloater rear end ,moly housing,full spool 9 inch ect.
New front end tubular setup,new brakes allround.
Strenghtening the chassis in a few places.
8 sec roll cage,new velo seats , 6 points ect.

New motor has arrived,full house 540 with a 10/71.
Dynoed at 1020hp @ 10 psi and a shitload of torque.
New box from craigs , 2000 hp manual glide reid case ect.

Certainly no doing things by half Dave.

That engine is pure automotive PORN. Very nice.

[Muncha]

You sir are 100% nuts, good job. :)

[Kyle]

Epic skids!!!

[blown408chev]

Cheers guys,have a few more pics , will post them up sometime.

Most of the gear is coming from Rod Andrews and should be here within the next month.


I am also going to try and get it registered, which is the reason behind the manifold.

Jeez Dave. I like your style - do it once - do it right! :bravo: Nice work!

[blown408chev]

Jeez Dave. I like your style - do it once - do it right! :bravo: Nice work!

Cheers Seldo, i am slowly getting it right,use the strongest things straight up, saves changing them a bit down the track,the motor is doing that hp easy and can be wound up to about 1500 with blower pulley's which i have,its also making that hp on pump fuel.:cheers:

[Scotty]

You are going to be able to register it?

Look forward to seeing it built and it's et

[blown408chev]

Bit of an update ,the VE is twin turbo now and thanks to Sonny made a reasonable amount of power and can do it consistantly,still some tidying up to do ,its currently getting a big hp TH400 fitted.

The HQ is still moving along slowly havent taken any pics for a while but this is a couple of earlier ones.

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn315/blown408chev/P1000251.jpg


And yes the plan is to register it , i have approval in principle ,the engineers and the local TAC have been out and are happy so far ,obviously the blower will have to come off and diff wheels but so far so good.
I have been setting up a manifold carby ect to make it a reasonably quick swap when required.

[Muncha]

All work on both cars looks great.

Any chance of putting the VE motor in the HQ at some stage in the future to see what its capable of? :)

[Luke@WSP]

Now THAT'S an engine!! Love the work on the HQ, the detail in the tube rear is a work of art.

[GTS Listy]

Looking good on both cars as always Dave. Hopefully I can book a ride on one or both cars one day.
Plenty of power there that is for sure.

[vyclubby]

WOW! Some very nice toys you have there mate

[Rattler]

Very nice there Dave!! :bow:

[blown408chev]

wow long time between drinks

The HQ looks like a 2 bit harlet at the moment ,mate is doing a nip and tuck , then painting it.

Was almost getting back together then changed my mind on the paint,have most things ready to bolt up when he is done,pretty keen to get hold of it,managed to pick this up on the weekend,55 F100 pro street ,flew down to have a look,very sweet bit of kit,room for a blower aswell,almost have enough ci and hp in the shed now to turn top fuel blower slowly.

[GTS Listy]

Awesome Dave. I have to come over for a visit one of these days again with the new toys around. My daughter still wont let anyone move the VE green ute photo from her room from the ute mag it got in.

Nice purchase and good luck getting the other ute finished.

As you hitting power cruise this weekend. 3rd year in a row I have missed due to some reason or another. I will visit though.

[Aeron]

You're telling me that your VE ute has over 1000Hp @ the wheels!?!?!?!
Oh I want that!!!!! :D Thats awesome!!!! :D

Roger that , i drove it to work today,rare occasion,crazy thing on boost,Sonny was just up at my place for a week.

[DaveHAT]

Congrats Dave ... one of the few Fords I want to own before I bucket is precisely the one you have.

Whatever you're doing to get all these toys keep doing it. :bravo:

[blown408chev]

Cheers mate.

Never been inclined to buy a ford before,but was pretty keen on this,of course i think like most people i could see myself in a phase anything GTHO if they were not stupidly expensive.

Spent many years and long hours earning it ,now is time to spend some, i like this part.:)

[Delft Maloo]

i think we should organise a track chat road trip:beer: .
