    Welcome back! We're glad you could join us for such a momentous occasion and a MASSIVE hurdle to have been overcome in The Bunky BT1 build. It's been 12 years since this car last ran. TWELVE YEARS! And we have now finally gotten it to a point where she finally roars into life off of the key once more. To say we're PUMPED on it is an understatement. That Turbocharged Holden 304ci V8 with the VN Group A intake manifold really does look the business in the engine bay too.
    Check out the video! And leave us a comment with your feedback.

    The VL/VN Group A engine has to be the sexiest looking engine ever, shame they stopped making it and we got a box of bananas instead

    Great video and beautiful car but just a heads up your discs need to be swapped over from left to right, if you look at the curved grooves machined into the face in forward rotation they remove heat from the disc. Keep up the great work

    • @TorqHub
      @TorqHub  2 роки тому +1

      Hey Michael, the car will get a full restoration at some point in the future for sure. The idea is to get the bugs ironed out, upgrade the turbo and finish the 355 motor and then when I'm ready, tear it apart, panel/ paint and re-assemble.

      I can't remember off the top of my head but I know speedflow do the fittings. Look up bump tube adapters, they do m14 m16 and m18 with an -6 male end so that's probably what you're chasing mate. If I can find the part numbers I'll post them in this reply section.
