Thanks for the reply and i just Sub to your channel . Easiest way to do a torque flites is to just buy a Transgo kit but if you have a spare valve body that your not ever going to ever convert back to auto shift just get there stick shift 904/727 instructions and just follow and understand what there doing with there block off and transfer plates in the kit . There are 2 holes that have to be drilled in there instruction that use a transfer plate which you dont have to drill those holes and just remove the channel casting on the opposite side of the valve body so it connects the galleries together . There is also another plate that blocks a hole off but fill the hole with araldite so it blocks the hole off .And a hole on the rear of the case has to be blocked Aswell , Just put a grub screw in that hole . Theres other things you have to do but its more about just reading there instructions and understanding what there doing . Thanks Mark

@ cheers for the reply , I have fitted a transgo kit to a 904 25 years ago, still going strong in my AP6 behind a mild 318 . I think iv checked the level twice in that time 😅🤦🏻‍♂️cheers mate

Thanks Peter

Thanks Scotty

@@BlueKhaki thanks for the comment

$100 Its junk that should be in the scrap yard and thats being generous .

@@marksworkshop54 cmonnn after its fully built and manualized? remember prices like this need to be comparable to what someone else might buy, if it can handle teh power you're hoping to put out it's no way only worth $100

Thanks just hope it all goes to plan

Thanks Stephen

Same here man, learning a lot. Mark's doing a great thing.

@@brushitoff503 thanks just trying to have some fun .

Brush im not really a mechanic i just like to do my own stuff .

@@marksworkshop54Me neither haha. Just love messing with cars. Brake's Bleed & Bedded in today for my VL. I'm not doing the challenge myself. Enjoy your video's anyway. Cheers

A VN 5ltr motor just sold on market place here in Brisbane yesterday for $400 to suit rebuild . I tried to buy it but missed out but i did screen shot it as proof this shit is not worth what people think . Alot of ads on market place have been there for months with out selling which tells you its not worth the price people are asking .

Your right, so many knobs think that their credit card debt dictates the value of something and, generally the only item of any value they have 😂​@@marksworkshop54

Please tell me where you get 20g from ?

Yes Australia

I am going to see what it runs with just the cam then ad the turbo after . Im also doing another car with a standard 5ltr and crane 288 soild to see what we can get out of that aswell .

These springs will be on the limit of the cam shaft lifts .

Thanks Peter but it wont matter 1 bit with a couple of these clowns that most likey wouldnt even know how to change the oil in there car . Yes im lucky i have alot of shit that owes me nothing as you have seen . Lets wait and see what happen when i build the box from a broken case and S/H parts that i wont use in customers transmissions because there old and junk . The Carb will be the same as it going to be built from a main body i got from Spot on performances scrap pile and all the other old parts i have .

@ I saw another guy who has a channel and he’s spent $2,500 already. $1,000 on a Mitsubishi Mirage and $1500 on a 380 Magna. Oddly nobody there is giving him grief over the spend like the morons who have unfortunately found your channel.

@ the car doesn’t come into the price . Its $2000 to make the car run 12s . The Mitsubishi project is pretty cool

@ oh okay well that will be interesting I’ve seen similar in a Jamboree car.

@@peternewman958yeah I’m watching him to , I think the budget only covers performance parts and mods , but it’s definitely a grey area , oh and some people are building twin turbo LSs , don’t know how that works either 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻

Thanks Flat Tappet

Thanks Jas

No 4 bolt mains in this motor its a factory 2 bolt . I will try and get a video of the of what i do to the oil pump in modifications .

I know they wont like it but they were sitting doing nothing and have to be better than the old original springs .

I know you can’t change what’s ground into it it’s showing that I’ve advanced the cam 5 degrees from top dead centre.ive just worded it wrong

@@marksworkshop54 you literally said the LSa changed from 112 to 107

@@shredBucketheadshred Well done buddy for working out i worded it wrong . i Degreed that cam in on the 50 thou figures on both side of the intake lobe . The calculations tell ME that the cam is advanced 5 degrees in the motor . I know what the calculation ment to me to tell me what i have done .

Intake lobe center line is what you have changed (ILC). You would need to know the original ILC to know the advance number that you have now. The cam card would probably have it on it or it would have enough info to calculate it. You are correct, advancing the cam will bring the power in earlier. Mate thanks for sharing it for us to enjoy good on you.

@@kd1504 Thanks Kd I just worded it wrong , Nervs when filming all built up and i spat the wrong thing out .

Thanks, will do!

Glad you enjoyed it

Thanks Hornet

Well get the mangs happening Dane .

@marksworkshop54 lol stop it but I did today 😁

Thanks , Just type in 12s for 2K and that will bring up the other guys that are doing it .

@@marksworkshop54 Cheers, I've found a bunch over the last couple months, but just want to make sure I've got all of them ha ha.

Thanks Jas , Filming is something im not use to but im having fun doing it .

Where in Brisbane sorry . Where trying to find out who is from Brisbane so we can get them all to Willowbank at the same time .

Your 100% right . I bought shit when it was worth nothing and im going to use it .

@@marksworkshop54I did also to an extent, today’s prices are insane if I was to start with nothing on a build 😅

Spot on. The concept was based on prices you pay, not what it's worth to someone else today. People are missing the point. If you paid $300 for an item that's now $600+, it's simply in your favour, that's it. The wrecker years builds have an advantage, and it's simply not a problem. Let's see what everyone builds.

@@superhornet81 We were having a laugh about it today at the pricing people think you have to use . Its just like saying because we have had Covid and the world went stupid i have to use ridiculous prices for the build . Most of these parts dont sell anywhere near to what people think they are worth .

😂

Thanks Jim . This is not the VT roller motor Jim its a VS flat tappet motor i just stole some parts from a VT motor to put on this .

Thanks if you know someone that wants to come and give me 6k for it please send them my way . I have alot of stuff that ive had for years . I have a complete 5lrs VS Calais that i paid $350 about 6 years ago just sitting there . Im doing this for fun and its not my issue that prices have gone up . I have about 10 cars to choose from both Ford and Holden . Im doing the Lexcen because it’s different and i have 2 off them . Thanks for your imput .

Your allowed to spend up to 2k on buying a car so i will class it in that . And all parts i have will start with will be standard parts . Im not worried about that to be honest and if its a issue so be it . Im not short on cars to use if i wanted to use something else . I have a vr and a vs both 5 ltr cars sitting around aswell + numerous other old Holdens . The challenge is to spend 2k in performance parts to make it go . This motor I bought for years ago for $500 with a transmission and lpg gas kit . I sold the transmission for $350 and the gas kit for $100 so that leaves me with a motor only costing $50 if people want to go down that route. The reason im using this car is because it’s different from the normal Holden / Ford

I agree on some of the vids on what your saying , The 2K is for only the add ons on the motor and the cars free . Im lucky i have alot of stuff that doesn't owe much . My auto wont owe anything really . I have a 308 in a VC Commodore that the motor owes me $1050 which started out as a $200 motor . Its run a best of 12.26 @ 109 in street trim . Im only going turbo just for the fun of it .

Kind of scotties mini spool, gifts and wiring exotica a getting to be a joke

Imagine if Adam Lz or victor bray used odds and ends from the shed floor

Yeah your dead right. The pricing should be valued at today's price, not something that has been sitting in a shed for 10 years. Or given to someone by a mate. I bought a running driving and regoed vt LS1 for $1500 before covid, it runs 12's and has done for years. With minimum mods. But I'd never enter it, because what's a good regoed vt LS1 worth now.

Well said

Thanks , The tune will be Key and fun at that time as im going blow through carb to be different .

Thanks Going to have some fun with it .

I have thought about using them but i have the rockers there and the extra rocker i need only cost me $56.89 from VPW with the receipts for that aswell .

What have i low balled ?

@@marksworkshop54 I didn't say you did, I mean you'd need to to even come close to 2k

@@shredBucketheadshred I have the receipts for the parts ive bought of Ebay for the build and for the parts i dont im using Ebay prices . The only main thing i dont have anymore is the receipt for the cam and lifters which i purchased back in 2011 . Im going to see if Performance Wholesale still has it as i have a trade account with them . Back then it was only $240 dollars for the cam . I will do a vid with the receipts .

Is this donk for sale after? Happy to pay 2k for it

@@marksworkshop54 You have low balled SFA!

Thanks I will keep them coming .

I know theres been issues with there parts but i have used some of there stuff with success but i also know its a gamble with what I’ve used.

@@marksworkshop54 cheers good to know

Stroker cranks snap off @ ballancer so clean they look machine cut 🤣 Ignition components that are packaged to look the part 10,000v or whatever bs finned aluminium case. Inside the sealed box is nothing exciting or super spark inducing whatsoever

Thanks there will be more

Thanks i will
