One thing i hate about the buick and 304 is the metric bolts all over the shop. 😂😂😂 other than that they hold a special place in my heart. About to swao my VR ute from v6 to the 304 absolutely cannot wait. Still heaps to go though was will be doing full fresh rebuild almost a full nut and bolt rebuild all round Thanks for the extra tip on the engine brackets on bracing them up. I have a VP clubsport motor and have the exact bracketd you have. I could get vs brackets but have the materials to brace it myself
You’ve done an amazing job, you’re attention to detail is second to none and it’s looking amazing. I wish I had a brother like you to come and help my crippled ass with my projects
Thanks very much for your comment it’s been a great little build and it’s kept me busy for sure ! I appreciate you taking the time to watch the video as well !!
@@Trifiveguy I have a few project car’s that I’m working on. Becoming a paraplegic almost 8 years ago so my projects now build up as I acquire more. I really need to focus on just one but I work on them to a point where I need a hand so then I move on to another one. My most recent is a 1980 BMW 635csi and I’m looking at a early Mercedes.
@@oldaussiev8bloke ok great mate I just got back to the states I’ve got one more on the red VN coming out and then doing a few on the VR ute here at the end of the year I’ll be starting the V8 conversion on it but will be all local powered

Did you have to change the cluster to a v8 one or can you still use the v6 about to start my vn v8 5 litre conversion
Thanks for watching the speedo will work normally but the tacho need to changed to a V8 one I don’t know of any conversion that allows the v6
