For those who have given up on the present

This is a one off event, and has nothing to do with ExplorOz, no prizes given just a bit of Australia Day Fun.

Ah, that brings back some memories....I had an EK holden in my earlier days, but found the points too hard to change on the grey motor.
Tossed it out and stuck in a 202, ported and polished 149 head with Nissan Patrol stellited valves, a nice cam, modified distributor (weights only), triple 1.75" SUs on Cain manifold, extractors, Vandervell bearings, a larger radiator, HR disc brake front end, HG steering box, 7" widies.
After that the points were easy to check :)
Don't know how much power it made, but soon had to change the gearbox for a 3 speed sunchro with inline floor shift, due to hitting 3000rpm and stripping all the teeth off 2nd gear.
Then it needed a 3.08 diff due to the fairly low 1st ratio, but it was pretty nice after all that....
