WE ARE BACK and SO IS THE LSQ!! - LS Swapped HQ Holden - Plus what is in store for 2021??

[@MaTtRoSiTy]

Love that you kept the old school bench seat, they feel so 'family' and cozy and remind me of young days with 3 in the front and 3 in the back. Great old design we may never see again

[@TheTigerQuoll]

The interior on the HQ is some mighty fine workmanship.Respect to the craftsman who completed it,looks factory.

[@HackshopGarage]

Yeah it has come up a treat, it looks great

[@Slidedriver89]

Great to see you guys back, love the channel, I used to live in the Yarra Valley but moved to the east coast of the US about 4 years ago, its great seeing Aussie car culture and builds on KZbin!

[@HackshopGarage]

Thanks mate, awesome to hear

[@TorqHub]

Yesss! The US content is starting to get a bit played out. Loving the Aussie channels that are uploading these days 👌🏻

[@dipstar8178]

Awsome been looking forward to what you guys have install for 2021. CONGRATULATIONS on picking up your first sponsor....

[@FuManchu5ltr]

Its great to see KFC onboard.

[@andrewbrown9460]

Love the show, normal blokes doing a good spread of vehicles. Keep up the good work.

[@TorqHub]

Welcome back to the 'Tube fellas. Looks like this is going to be a BANGER year for your channel! Absolutely loving the schedule of 'proper' Holden V8s and an XY GT rep 😉😍

[@TorqHub]

Congrats on securing Burson's as a sponsor too blokes! Great to see companies getting behind some grass-roots aussie channels and giving them a leg up! Hope the support they give you helps you grow tremendously in 2021 👌🏻

A Sandman. I remember them as kid in the 70's. The ultimate mullet headed bogan mobile.

[@hqwoody327]

We're in for some great educational entertainment this year! Back in the day, we used to fit 304 heads and injection on the old 253s and 308s. You'll love the reliability!

[@TorqueMediaau]

great to have you guys back, cant wait to see what in store for the year and 10,000+ subscribers

[@glenlong5090]

Hey champ if your looking for an alternative tail shaft for your fairlane I put a steel tail shaft out of a eb wagon their steel you just have to use a cross over rear uni 21/2 uni and a 3 in uni to fit the yoke for the diff when I did mine including buying the tail shaft balancing and uni it was $265 the wagon and fairlane lengths are the same and the steel in the wagon is thicker hope it helps

[@Madbart66]

Congrats on the sponsorship. I rue the day I got rid of my XE's. Covid tax prices are ridiculous on replacing one now. Looking forward to XE build the most

[@BOSSGTE]

I am so keen to see the XE Windsor build. It's exactly what I'm planning for my XE.

[@JonSmoother]

Love your channel... do the sandman a favour and turn the headlight surrounds over... rounded corners towards the grill ;)

[@TheTruckdriver999]

Only just discovered this channel Great show great format Keep it up have fun

[@slw0546]

Another great vid ... fellas! Holley snip kit, have heard great things about it. I too, will be using holley sniper kit in my vk ..

[@HackshopGarage]

Thanks mate, we are super keen to see how it goes

[@TorqHub]

A mate has a sniper on his early headed 355 VH SL/E. Has had one injector hang open on it, and Holley warranty process was a bit slow it seemed but otherwise a great bit of kit.

[@marcusl9118]

Cool to get Burson's sponsor. Hope it helps with getting more builds done :)

[@brucehowie579]

Great to have you back , looks like loads of great stuff coming up too.

[@patrickmarcello5103]

Cant wait to see the Fairlane on the dyno!

[@culpritmedia7026]

Mental year coming up. Looking forward to watching.

[@hsn5150]

Love the channel guys, informative and a bit of a laugh along the way.. I am looking to put the Sniper on a 308 into my HZ ute restoration so can't wait to see your take on it and the step by step commentary of the installation, keep up the great work.👍

[@alexf6625]

The XE is an incredible car and I can't wait for the build

[@phillipplumb1310]

For the engine for the Falcon, check out Blueprint engines in the us. If you buy direct from them and not an Aussie supplier (to expensive) they are awesome value with the Aussie dollar so good at the moment. Even have sniper efi options 👍

[@justinbrown2093]

Welcome back boys, keep the fun coming in 2021

[@johnpopovski4535]

Looking forward to the upcoming builds boys!

[@BFxr6T]

Been keen to see a new video fellas!!! Keen for the builds!! Xy and xe are gonna be awesome!!!

[@michaelhanley7580]

Finally your back!! can't wait for all the Builds to start

[@doogey2001]

Great work boys 👍🏼 Thanks for the preview,and some great vids to come ,no doubt.😎 Dave aka Doogey .

[@chrispapadopoulos3058]

Welcome back guys I be watching every episode Keep up the great work cheers

[@HackshopGarage]

Thanks legend! Much appreciated

[@downtheshedwithbyron]

What a year looking forward to it. I keen to see how the injection system works on the 308. My kids and I are starting the build on our HT Brougham this year. Dirty thumbs up from Down the shed with Byron 👍

[@HackshopGarage]

Thanks magic HT brougham is a dream car of ours

[@thewraith6360]

Im most stoked about the fairlane update

[@justkyddingracing9268]

welcome back guys. those holley snipers are fine and work well for anything mild but if you put a decent cam in they cant keep up with it and because they are self learning they are almost impossible to tune properly.

[@HackshopGarage]

Thanks mate, I have heard a similar story, good for mild applications but not so good for the hotter stuff

[@adamheazlett1179]

I think the hat is a trilby.Fedora much wider brim

[@RussellBooth1977]

I don't think fuel injection will give the 253 V8 engine much more power rather rejecting the carburetor will, unless the EFi system is programmable then you can extract a.tad more power out of that engine since it has a set of headers & a high flow exhaust system bolted onto the engine,you might be lucky to get close to the performance of a 3.8 litre V6 VN Commodore out of it,I think you'll end up wanting to cam up the engine because 100 kilowatts of power was made out of the twin exhaust engine at the factory. I wrote to Michael Howlett on here whose into racing the 6 cylinder HQ Holdens,they have a power output of about 130 flywheel horsepower,they basically run the stock red 202 engine with the standard 9 port cylinder head fitted & the standard single barrel Bendix Stromberg carburetor. The only thing which isn't standard about them is they run the Wade 933 camshaft which Holden also fitted into the Black EFI 202 in the VK Commodore & the exhaust system is free which means they run performance headers & no mufflers right throughout the exhaust system. My point is the stock power output for a factory built red 202 6 cylinder engine is 88.5 horsepower so the race engines put out about 40 odd more flywheel horsepower. My LS1 V8 engine in my Commodores puts about 101 horsepower more than factory stock because the 315 horsepower engine in the VY SS Commodore is seriously choked up then detuned at the factory,416 flywheel horsepower is obtainable from them if a high flow twin 2.5 inch exhaust system, high flow catalytic converters & a set of tri y headers are fitted as well as being dyno tuned,I bet you'll get that out of the LSQ !

[@poydapoyderson646]

Looking forward to the EFI swap. Want to do this myself. Can you do before and after dyno and fuel consumption? Keep the part numbers and pricing going so I can evaluate if it’s worth it for me. Happy New Year.

[@aussieshedtalk7811]

Love the videos fellas, some cool builds !1

[@TorqHub]

"Want this thing back on the road because it's summer time" * *wearing hoodies* * 🤣

[@HackshopGarage]

Melbourne summer time * haha

[@martinellul1604]

Build a mild cleveland and take a couple of leads off, should be around 400hp 😁

[@the-THORNSPAWN]

The XE doesn't deserve to suffer a wheezer. Even the crossflow can handle more power.

[@bradfordblowthe1193]

In your workshop walk around video, you mentioned a concrete coating. Can you link the one you used?

[@letsdoit9547]

Nice to see the Q back boys, I was wondering what location the harness ended up going? Was it through the firewall or behind the fender area on the corner bit? Also was it pretty straight forward to join to the Q harness after the mods that you had done to the LS harness? Cheers 🍻

[@andrewallen8020]

In love with the xy and xe but my favorite falcon is a xd Farimont ghia with the 351 I loved that car till my dad sold it aha

[@jamesstuart2362]

Hi James here is the holly you got good to use on a Work 202 to replace a 465 holly on a Holden

[@HackshopGarage]

Hey mate, I’m not sure how it would go on a 202. They do offer a 2 barrel variant which might be better suited. But then again, we don’t know all that much about them

[@danielcantrill3104]

Xe. Go a 363 dart Windsor. Same size as a 302 but better base for power.

[@martyburgess341]

Did I miss the LSQ startup video? I just finished watching that series.

[@HackshopGarage]

No mate, that should be covered in the next LSQ episode

[@martyburgess341]

@@HackshopGarage Ah sweet. I thought I'd missed it

[@adamheazlett1179]

351 4V Will go close to 400hp with add ons. Go the 393 with a tremec heaps nicer car with a 2.75 rear we gotta think green

[@JOHN-qs7yu]

Good to see youse guys back!, Is the 5litre in the S-Pack going EFI?

[@HackshopGarage]

Thanks mate, we arnt 100% sure what direction we will go in that regard just yet. But we are leaning more towards EFI, just not the standard EFI set up

[@matthewtirchett2498]

I would love to no how use went with Pirtek doing your custom lines and hoses. I need to re route some power steering lines in my Vk. So I can keep an original type power steering set up, I have all the parts but no hoses/lines etc.. Were they easy to deal with, knowledgeable and reasonably priced also did you have to take the hq to them or did they come to you? Cheers

[@HackshopGarage]

Hey mate, we will cover this in the next LSQ episode. But basically what we got was the standard commodore high pressure line that run below the engine sump, a standard HQ high pressure power steering hose, and got pirtek to cut the rubber hose off each and braze new fittings to a new rubber hose to join the two. They did a great job of it and we just have them the hoses with the length of hose measurement we needed them to fit between the two standard parts

[@matthewtirchett2498]

@@HackshopGarage ok awesome! I’m still unsure what I need for lines etc but I will need to work it out once the motor is in. but mainly I need someone to braze and join them if required as I’m not confident in doing that kind of stuff haha but at least I no there is someone who can help out or put me onto the correct track, I only thought pirtek did plant and machinery type stuff not back yard car builds lol 🤙 love your work, bring on the new builds

[@dasdasdsdasdasdasd363]

Those HQ pox boxes are worth around 50k now. I used to buy them for $500 in the 90's and leave them at the side of the road when they crapped out. Silly me.

[@dasdasdsdasdasdasd363]

The subframes crack on them around the lower wishbone area, so you may want to check that out too. They really are a piece of crap but I would love to own one today. Very rare to see one on the road today. Back in the day, they were everywhere. They were never designed to last 40 years, more like 5. Which is probably longer than the warranty was back then. For a little country like Asstralia, they sold a lot of them.

[@dasdasdsdasdasdasd363]

The 6 cylinder engines were simple and very reliable, but the Traumatic transmission, as we used to call it, and the rest of the body used to fall apart in short order. The manual transmissions were rubbish as well. 70's manufacturing was not like it is today. Whether that's a good thing is debatable.

[@muuberk4618]

What size wheels and tyres are on the LSQ?

[@colinp1233]

Hey guys, I'm thinking about LS swapping my Torana hatchback. Interested in what transmission you chose in your HQ

[@HackshopGarage]

Hey mate, the transmission is a 4L60e, the standard one that came with the LS1 in the VY donor car. In standard power applications it should be fine, however the 4L60es arnt known to be the greatest or the strongest transmissions without being beefed up a little. So I would bear that in mind when deciding if it’s right for you

[@colinp1233]

@@HackshopGarage ok cool. Thanks for the info. I will check it out

[@hughmahony3161]

Thursday mornings may resume as normal from now!

[@Dazzab67]

Is it going to be repainted in same colour?

[@HackshopGarage]

At this stage, the body will stay as is, going for that patina look, perhaps one day though it may get an overhaul

[@bigal878]

Out of curiosity why did you use a Falcon 6 T5 behind your Holden V8’s and not a T5 V8 out of a V8 Commodore? Cost? Availability? Ratios? Cheers.

[@HackshopGarage]

Hey mate, I am no expert, but I believe the reason the T5 out of a falcon 6 is used in most applications and kits is because it brings the shifter up to an almost stock location out of the centre console. I’ve also been told that using a T5 out of a mustang will also put it in the same spot and require no cutting of the floor at all.

[@jamesgovett2501]

You want to be careful with some of the mods your going to do on those cars from stock when you have the “H” series of club permit plates they really are for generally stock cars as built from new from the factory, VicRoads are clamping down & will continue to do so S they already have cancelled a lot of bogus internet clubs & some clubs not “playing by the rules” l know this for a fact so be careful because police & highway patrol have every club played car on their data base, so don’t forget VicRoads do have special plates for Modified cars that start the letter “M” for modified as well as “SR” for street rod, so Beware now as also VicRoads will be privatised, they probably would have already but for the “ China Virus”
