Hi Glenn,

Good work!!
How does the Diff compare to the front end regarding width?
Commodore discs and calipers on the front?

Cheers
Jason.  ;D

Good to see you got those seats in!
The rest of the car looks great too, and the photos  should be a great help for anyone looking at doing some mods as well.
Cheers,George.

Hi again Glenn,
                       Sorry about all these questions mate,
but being a chev nut myself ::).
I sent you an IM also,but i was looking at your photos again and was wondering about your heads on your small block.
Are they the early single camel hump Canadian 283 truck heads casting number 1816887?
Just wondering about chamber and valve sizes ::).
Do u have any info on their stock form?
And what have you done to yours and how do they perform?
Again sorry 'bout all the questions.
Cheers ....BRAD

Hello,

Over the course of building my wagon, I've been lucky enough to share ideas with Glenn.  

The bulk of a conversion is really very simple, but as others know, it is the little bits which cause headaches.  

These are the things nobody talks about and are often quite reluctant to share ideas on how to overcome.  

It's a credit to you Glenn to offer your assistance and advice on conversions, even more so as your car has not hit the road yet.

I was really impressed at your attention to detail and lots of commonsense ideas using readily availble parts.

sooo... this October?  I reckon so too.


Cheers and thanks for your help.


Ed

Hi Glenn,

What did you end up doing with your tank? Dimensions and stuff.

Jason.
