Yeh the car is only a Sunday driver, the master cyl is a kit from Castlemaine for the early commodores but basically it’s just a smaller bore master and an adapter player so will see how it goes. I am going to get a proportioning valve for it aswell to dial in the front to rear ratio

Looking REALLY good mate. What size wheel and tire you got under the back? keep the updates coming. This thing is mint
It’s got 275/60r15 on it at the moment and 195/60s on front not happy with it though so going to drop down to 275/50 even it up a bit

I know a bit about wiring and what not but I’m a bit stumped at the moment. Have a vk that went to panel shop and they pulled all wiring in through fire wall and put on passengers floor, now I can’t seem to find where the main feed for the battery to connects to power everything. Any help would be appreciated

I just used a set of the cae 1 7/8 headers 4 into 1s they are tight. With th400 you have to trim the bell housing of box a fair bit and there is a casting block on right and side of motor you have to cut off. Other than that they fit great

Haven’t been on here in a while but made a little bit of progress on the seemingly never ending project. Got my th400 and engine mounted and with a truck load of parts on there way there is an end in sight
