All Things Chev

Picked it up on Friday. Had to go down to Sydney to get it so had a bit of a drive to get home... Shaws transport shipped it back from Perth. I was going to remove my brush bars before I sent it over... Thank god I did not. The Brush bars now have flat spots either side and the drivers door has dents all over it ... This I'm not happy with ... Pay big bucks for transport but obviously no responsibility on their part. And the fine print states they take no responsibility for damage...

First immediate impression .. The sound is to die for... Friggin fantastic.

Second impression... Definitely not going to race any one off at the lights ... But heck... This is not what I need.

Third impression ... Torque... By the time I managed to hit the freeway .. Never got out of fifth. Absolutely fantastic.


Took me near to half an hour to get the engine up to temp.. But the EGT's ... Wow... My ZD30 on the hill up to Berowra.. I'd be hitting 550 degrees. With the 6.5... Only just hit 200.

Had a few teething probs with some wiring issues but managed to sort them out tonight. Spent the weekend stripping gear off to get the weight down so I can get my tare weight under 2504 kg for Rego.

I still have the old engine sitting on the back so tomorrow I will be dropping it off at Simms Metal to get rid of it. Once it's off I will get out and give it a good run.

So far ... I am pretty stoked. Do not think I am going to regret it at all.

Stay tuned.

Kindest regards
Rainey
