Bought the hilux like this around 1 month ago doing 15 second quarters with holden 253 V8 in her and have just about got her up for roadworthy.
Have spent alot of extra cash and hours on her so far. She now sits in primer with no bonnet scoop and have 4x4 tub to go on the back of her. Have purchased new bonnet,taiklgate,door and just require Rh guard to finish off and abit of rust repair on the new tub. The spacer plate has been taken off of the carb to get it sitting under the hood and have rekitted 45o holley to put on as 650 on her is to big have also bought new HEI electronic dissy n leads a Pete jackson gear drive, torker manafold, set of b-cast Brock headers that go over the top of chasis in behind the front wheels and out to set of duals,new chrome edelbrock air cleaner breathers and tappet covers, a b&m shifter is also sitting in the garage waiting to go on the trimatic Havent got cam yet as need to get L34 heads and all parts on before choose lobe to go with. Am hoping for 13's if it does not get there then will be looking at superchargers or vn heads and harrop manafold or chuck a 308 but then not sure if 308 still legal Bought personalised number plates 14MYL Quarter Mile Inside now consists of autometer monster tacho and 2x 10" subs and cd + amp to get it rollin. Am going with rat rod approach so bottom of car going will be painted matt black into white pinstripe that opens up to flame job on tub and then will go into gloss red with red candy flake on top. To keep with rat theme I have purchased a set of 15" chasers which have a set of moon caps on them and am getting portawall 3" white walls all round and having exhaust kicked out to the sides of tub. Just looking for a chrome front end for her at the moment and set of tramp rods (slapper bars) Once roadwrthy is done I will fit all the new goodies that I have for her and post up some pics and times.

sold the 4x2 tub so am now putting the 4x4 tub on the back just finished cutting, welding, glassing and sound deadening the floor pan now just have to sand back the sides and put in primer and I can move onto the rest of the body. Have tossed up whether to shave and cap it but want to keep it rod style so think i will just shave the hooks and headboard and leave the rest.

Yes I have heard the same but when i rang up qld transport they said could be done but would need another mod plate but if put a different 253 in her it would be sweet but when I look at the mod plate and certificate all it says is mod plate for holden V8 motor and trimatic gearbox so it might already be sweet as does not say 253 or 308 so not sure how they would know what 1.It might be that they read the engine numbers and do some homework and find out what was originally in there , but there is ways around that probably . Anyone looking for 253 without block as have 1 for sale  I might be getting a drive car for work soon, if so there will be nothing legal about it as will probably put blower on with shotgun air scoop. Am thinking about putting the shotgun air scoop on regardless This post has been edited by 57QLN: Apr 8 2007, 02:35 PM -------------------- wasnt my fault I had a cramp that forced me to hit the accelerator
