Was looking at a 60s Holden today at a car show, the engine bay attracted my attention. Converted to a fuel injection set using various pieces made and scavenged from who knows where. All very neatly done.




Another one I liked was this guys triple SU set up. Check out the fancy shmancy fuel set up on the right. Filter, regulator, gauge, distribution all together.



And a little bit of XJ6 engine **** for Clarke. Jeez they look humungous when you are used the the visual of a V8 in that space, but much less agricultural in appearance :-)

 

I'm impressed!

 

That is a good looking XK engine, I wish mine looked like that.

Always amazes me what the Holden guys do to those 6's.

 

The fuel injection is all Holden Steve. When unleaded fuel came in they did that setup as a stopgap until the Nissan six was introduced. (The best engine Holden never built.)

Back in the day we had a red motor with tripples, a pain to tune but went hard and sounded great. Didn't sound as good as a Jag 6 though.

 

There you go, I never knew there was such a thing as a production FI red motor.
