Well done Joe she is an absolute Credit to you mate.The old girl traveled nice and straight but better still your engine work is now tried and proven. She did a 12 no sweat at all, and did a stout burn out plus a consistent 60 footer. Mate i would be pretty bloody pleased with those results, I wish i could get to south Aussie mate and have you build an Engine for me. I take my hat of to you Joe you know you're shit. I cant wait for the next upload cheers mate.
Good stuff on the 12. I like the Ute similar style to mine. Give the hero’s or psr tyres a go, roughly $300ea, both pretty much the same tyre different brand, very sticky tyre for the money especially on the street (will pick up every stone on the road)
Gd seeing a young fella doing the cast iron carbed thing instead of the same old ls or ls turbo ,hats off to ya is much more rewarding when u do it all yaself and its not easy
Well done for the first time down the strip for both you and the Ute. You going to go to roller tip of full roller rockers at all? Should try a Powerglide...only 2 go fast and go faster gears to worry about.
I like the 400. I haven't really given it a good chance ether leaving it completely stock. Off the line with a 1.76 first gear of a power glide may make the car a slug with 3.3 gears.
@@Joedennett69 Could be right. I used to have an HG Ute running a mild 308 with a Powerglide and 3.9 rear. Best I ever got with that was 12.2 at 108mph.
I did a 12.8 in my LibertyRS at AIR in early 2000's , feel awesome, good on ya bro @5000
I was always a Holden guy before that , HG Kingswood 253 , EJ then HD .

I have a mate with a gravel driveway with hero's. sure does pick up every stone. The plan is to go to one or the other.
Well done mate Great to see you give it a go, sounds windy at the bend
Yes it was
Love ya work mate.
Enjoyable to watch, really appreciate the ute, looks great, worth more every day, thanks for your time appreciate the look of ute.
Well done Joe you will get quicker, You have been bitten by the bug

Cheers, i was pretty happy with the results from a slapper.
Really enjoying this channel! And congrats on the 12s! A factory hq gts 350 was a lot slower than that !
That’s great news mate.
Good stuff mate.
A 12s from the first time at a track that's pretty good
Congratulations
Love the vids mate well done! Ive never drag raced before and wouldn't mind trying when I finish my VF, was it hard to know what to do?
Very simple and straight forward. Was plenty people at the track to ask how things worked on the day.
Well done for the first time down the strip for both you and the Ute.
