Ahhh....So thats how they make all the cars laying on the side of the roads out at the local mission look like that :) James > >> Probably not as ever day practicle as a Landcruiser but........ > > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > Ahhh....So thats how they make all the cars laying on the side of the roads > out at the local mission look like that :) Bunch of morons destroying a vehicle which looked quite serviceable initially. Guess someone has got some money to burn there. Jason > Bunch of morons destroying a vehicle which looked quite serviceable > initially. Guess someone has got some money to burn there. Yeah, I never got it either. Perhaps it was daddy's car that they nicked and wrecked, and just reported it stolen afterwards. It was interesting to see how much abuse the thing could cop though and still keep running. No doubt if I tried that sh.t with mine it would die in the first few minutes :) -- Regards, Noddy. > > Bunch of morons destroying a vehicle which looked quite serviceable > > initially.

No doubt if I tried that sh.t with mine it would die in > the first few minutes :) Yeah,..its always the way. In '82 was babying a VH Val with a 2nd -hand engine I bought for $150 which was a "bit" fumey. Piston collapsed on the M4 cruising at 55mph in the slow lane. Only just made it back to Dubbo after the holidays,..couldnt decide to leave the dead cylinder with spark or not before leaving. Thought if I left it off, the sump would fill with unburnt fuel/air and explode. The smoke got absolutely horrendous by halfway home.

The VE was an unabashed copy of US model (remember the film "Duel"). I liked that model,..in fact Chrysler seemed to do reasonabley well leaving styling to the mother-country, albeit a couple of years behind.

Guess someone has got some money to burn there. [quoted text clipped - 34 lines] > a little tweak and got really scary under 4 barrels wide open :) > the auto was unbreakable happily but the fuel consumption sucked Imagine it with a CR hike :-) The 727 auto, according to the trans-shop, was Chrysler's bullet-proof trans. Used in Challenger Hemis and the like. Dont know if the early Val-V8s got it,..prolly did, as remember "Torque-flight" badges on the AP6 on.

Dont know if the early Val-V8s > got it,..prolly did, as remember "Torque-flight" badges on the AP6 on. More likely the (still very robust) TorqueFlite 904 in the early Vals (which a fair bit of the time got the small block 273 V8.) Not sure about the factory 360 cars though, they came in a bit later on IIRC. The 318s got 904s stock from memory. Unfortunately not too many of the Hemi 6's had the right pattern for a Torqueflite box and were lumbered with one of the most useless excuses for an auto 'box of all time, the c.nting Borg-Warner 35.

[quoted text clipped - 20 lines] > More likely the (still very robust) TorqueFlite 904 in the early Vals > (which a fair bit of the time got the small block 273 V8.) Aye,..I never did get the diff between T/flites and the 727. Someone told me they were the same,..but on reflection T/Flite is too general a name eg BWarner. The 273 was in the AP6>VE, the VF got the 318 "Fireball" (owned a VF-770,..got mobbed in Marrickville :-) Had a 2 bl Carter. Used to get done by XB 302s and a "Sandman" 308. I think mine had seen better days with 150,000 miles on it. Not sure > about the factory 360 cars though, they came in a bit later on IIRC. > The 318s got 904s stock from memory. Mine used to stick in 2nd unless you flicked it to neutral and back to Drive at the lights. The trans shop reckoned it was a 727? > Unfortunately not too many of the Hemi 6's had the right pattern for a > Torqueflite box and were lumbered with one of the most useless excuses > for an auto 'box of all time, the c.nting Borg-Warner 35. Tell me about it. 2 later Vals Hemis both got band -slip in 2nd with some go-pedal. Scarey noise!

"To be honest, they said it did not pass a recent inspection (bad rust problems) and was headed for scrap anyway... why not have fun with it :o) " rusted up and won't get through the pits - sounds fair. -mark > > Bunch of morons destroying a vehicle which looked quite serviceable > > initially. Guess someone has got some money to burn there. [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > rusted up and won't get through the pits - sounds fair. Guess that excuse will have to do,..being it that they didnt film any of the rust. The couple of times I went to the speedway out here,..I couldnt understand why a guy in a 6 cyl LC Torana which was doing well, didnt pull out when it was obvious it had blown a hose,..2 laps later the thing;s seized. Maybe they liked doing engine swaps. Jason >> I want this instead. >> <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r1UT8rSiTW8> >> >> :-) > > Probably not as ever day practicle as a Landcruiser but........ As an engineer friend of mine said after a month in the mines of Arctic russia: "The russians can't make anything good that weighs less than 10 tonnes. Once you get above that though..." > I want this instead. > <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r1UT8rSiTW8> > > :-) I reckon one of these would be good........... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CxdX0au-BNA >> I want this instead. >> <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r1UT8rSiTW8> [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CxdX0au-BNA A mate of mine used to assemble these things at ADI. He also got to go for a test thrash in one and enjoyed it :) If one had enough money it would make a great campervan (as the Uimogs are used for), just get rid of the side armour plating and fill in the V shaped mine blast deflecting "hull" with water / septic tanks, fit out the interior and away you go. Narrow bush tracks and low hanging tree limbs shouldn't cause too much of a problem..hehe http://www.thalesgroup.com.au/site.asp?page=154 Here is an article on a couple of the other projects, the one at the top..the "flyer" was a complete flop and failed to live up to expectations, but no doubt there is a couple of them kicking around the country somewhere http://www.4wdonline.com/Mil/ADI/ADI.html James >> I want this instead. >> <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r1UT8rSiTW8> [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CxdX0au-BNA I'll have that as well. :-) SignatureRegards Dan > I want this instead. > <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r1UT8rSiTW8> Or something smaller... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=enMDCVKVjUc >> I want this instead. >> <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r1UT8rSiTW8> > > Or something smaller... > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=enMDCVKVjUc I'll have that as well. :-) SignatureRegards Dan > I want this instead. > <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r1UT8rSiTW8> > > :-) Hah I thought it was going to flatten that pansy arsed Hummer Kev |
