History
I always wanted to build a ‘Pro Street’ themed tuff aspirated HQ 4 door GTS (tribute) Monaro. Originally a Kingswood, as I didn’t want to chop up an original.
Seven years in the build, and now four months on the road, with most of the work done in the shed in the back yard with a truck load of support and help from family and friends.
Built to cruise, race and show.
Modifications
Dart little M block (at 415ci) with 15 degree heads, solid roller cam and T&D shaft mounted rockers, pushing out 662hp at the wheels at 8,200rpm on pump fuel.
T400 manual reverse pattern gearbox, with transbrake and ratchet shifter. 4” chrome moly tail shaft and sheet metal 9” Strange Trutrac diff with 3.9 gears and 35 spline floating axles. Wilwood discs all round, and Weld wheels.
Bare metal rebuild, mini tubs, and 6” reverse cowl bonnet scoop.
VF Clubsport front and rear seats trimmed in long grain black vinyl and herringbone cloth inserts. AC, electric power steering, full Autometer dash and custom Alpine stereo install. Bolt in chrome moly roll cage.
