Red to gray motor is a bacwards step. Someone spent some money on that car back in the day . red motor. electronic ignition, power boosted brakes, floor shift. I get it you don't have red motor parts but that thing would/should have run. Yeah okay needed a water pump but that would not break the bank. Anyway shuch a cool car I had a blue sedan with the white top back in the day. Cheers Stew.

Good video. Put that engine in the HAMBster.

Not for entertainment. Got it. 🎉

Nice one mate!

Sweet another vid 👊👌👍🇦🇺🦘🍻🍻 getting there, have a great weekend 🍻 🇦🇺

Hi mate, it's good to see the old Grey up and running . Keep up the good work

Stick with 186.

Just found this video. I'm from Maryland. U.S.A. love the holden wagon. Gives me vibes of both the 59 chevy wagon and 56 chevy. I'm a long time G.M man. When they killed off holden made me sad. Somebody at G.M needed to be dope slapped. They made some cool looking and performing cars.

Excellent car, great work

The V8s hated my ute back in 1976-77, lol. I used to blow them off easily.

When it comes to motors better red than dead. I had a blue EK ute before the wagon that had a mild 179, a HR disc brake frontend and drag racing suspension that ended up with a hp 179 bored to 192 with a 25/65cam, solid lifters, a stage 3 Yella Terra head, a Holley 500cfm 2 barrel jetted to suit and extractors wit a 2 inch exhaust with 2 big Lukey mufflers to keep it quiet. It was built by Noel Tuckey in 1976 before he went on to write for Street Machine. That motor could do 135mph flat chat. I hit a cow late 76 so my mates and I replaced all the front and passenger door except the drivers guard as the original was better than the replacement. I had it painted black which really set off the 14 inch ROH wildfire mags and white tarp. After the Ek wagon I had that motor in a HD wagon.

The one I had was that green too.

Had one of them in1977-78.

Gee they did a rough job on the engine mount 😮😅

Awesome stuff, just subscribed #287 cool video, enjoyed, watching from Cradle Mountain 🏔Tasmania Australia 🇦🇺 🦘 🏔 🌨🌨🌧🏔🏔🦘🦘🇦🇺🇦🇺🍻🍻🍻

The wagon looks tidier than I imagined it to be. Nice up grade on the motor😆👍😆👍

Nice mate

any links to the carby guide thanks, nice videos

How's progress?

Hi any chance you can show details of your gearshift please.

I expect to see drag racing and get over 3 minutes of yada-yada-yada.

I bet she go she do😉

"promo sm"

That sunset! Nice showcase for a really cool dragster.

Just subscribed, doing same. Our first car project. Rod shop front and 9inch diff so far in, hopefully fit motor and gear box next week🤞 still working out who to send to for fabrication work and engineering

Lots of cool shit there, ya kid did good Mate! Thanks from Idaho.

Awesome to see the Grey Ghost running the track, she does sound pretty sweet with those triple carbys. Also your son did a pretty sweet job at the start. 👌

There’s no timer but what is an average in the one eight for you?

Spewing I missed the meet. Love the go pro set up. Gotta ask did you meet bad chad?

Nice to see the greys being used as they should be. Multi carbs and big cams. Great work

Nice run down on the health check mate. Hey where do I get the Grey Goat merch? 🐐 😀

the screw in the tappet gears a old trick we did it when we ran grey motors in the FJ in the 70's the oil pump probably needs new gear old and tired think autosurplus do them

Looks good mate good job I’ve got a cousin who drag races an EK called “special K” not far off an FB…… He told me once if you put big power through em the chassis twists and they need to be strengthened up….. Hopefully you won’t have to do that he’s doing 10 seconds quarter-mile, which is pretty fast as you know

What a great little machine to have a ball in👌👌🔨🕞🔨🕞🔨🔥🔥🔥🔥💪💪💪💪

Linville! As in near Moore? I worked at the sawmill in the early 90s

Awesome footage. 👌

Nice information mate, a good insight to what goes on behind the scenes. Haha and thanks for the shoutout! See ya on the weekend!

Hmmm. Interesting KZbin recommendation.

How ya going 🍻

Love the ghost and the wagon. When I'm not working on my cars I like to get a different perspective on what someone else is doing. Keep up the good work. 👌 If you can give a heads up for future events, that would be awesome

Oh Crap

Dude that motor is huge!😊

Purity does have it place, but if this means that the Long Roof can get back out their on modern roads. To become a more reliable Car, then I'm all for it. Cause let's be honest, when was the last time you were able to buy ANY parts for these cars, let alone the Old Grey's. It was also great to catchup at the OTL Xmas bash, the Grey Ghost looks very sharp 👍👍

That's cool mate I'm currently doing an FC sedan with the 4.8 version look forward to seeing your build,outta interest what front end are you using as I've gone southern cross chassis works.

Mate just found your chanel. I've just completed a full LS1 build on my EK wagon here in Victoria. Just up to final engineering. Exactly the same colour as your green one. Can't wait to see how you go. Sing out if there's anything I can help with. Well done mate 🙏

💥👍🙌

Torana and XC Cobra are NOT chrome bumper cars,,, kick em out!!

FB 👍 Cactus 👍 mate you got it right on 👍👍👍👍🤣🇭🇲

Nice garden art

Cool project mate! As a kid mums car was an old FB wagon. Always had a soft spot for them since. I had an EK wagon that I let go due to rust issues and prioritising other projects like my HK coupe. Lost a few cars in the bushfires so decided to thin the herd further. I would have loved to do something similar to what you have planned. You have a really solid example there by the looks. Look forward to following the build. New subscriber. Cheers.
