The 355 with less than 400km….

The “355” From Hell…..we had the pleasure *cough cough* of this ‘work of art’ come by the engine room late last year, for diagnosis as to the failure of a sub-400km new build.

With only 380kms (and FOUR oil changes – as suggested by the engine builder, hoping the noises would go away) on the clock this poor engine was in a very poorly state. After close examination of the parts delivered, we ascertained that she’d been running on roughly a 90-10 ratio of engine oil to sand blaster garnet….yep, you read that right!

The shop who built the engine had pulled it down and couldn’t find the fault, aiming to re-charge the customer for another rebuild. As you can see from some of these photo’s, it had been eating itself away with every km put on her since first start-up (ie. the garnet residue was already inside her from the get-go as found on both inner and outer bearing shells).

With only the block and heads left to save, the remainder of the new parts were binned and she was rebuilt again….cleanly this time!

The new combo is happily purring away, first (500km) service down and we still can’t wipe the smile off the customers face!

Mild Hydraulic Roller 351W

We recently built this mild hydraulic roller 351W for this tidy XT Falcon. Exceeding the customers expectations, it’s now racking up plenty of KMs on the streets of Adelaide!

+100HP Upgrade

After two previous engine builds by another builder, both of which failed to meet the performance expectations of what was promised, we had the job of building the latest version….and the one that exceeded expectations!

With a completely new bottom end combo, but still maintaining the same head and manifold package, we managed to create a much more enjoyable drive (over 100HP @ wheels more) and one very happy customer!

1957 Chevy Custom Air Cleaner

Who doesn’t love the lines of a 57? We recently had the pleasure of fabricating a custom air cleaner housing for this absolute beast as there was limited bonnet room to fit a standard shaped air cleaner.

We also performed some mechanical and cosmetic services on her in preparation for her new owners!
