Just out of curiosity as mine still won't be on the road for a while, what would be the top speed of a 186 Holden motor in a 1974 Series III with 4 speed box? I was just curious to wether it could get to 110km/h on the Highway? Also the head was replaced not too long ago (maybe around 10000km's?? Not too sure)

And a lot of shakes, rattles and rolls and if and emergency stop is required you'll need about 3 1/2 aircraft carrier lengths to come to a halt.Originally Posted by mick88

And a rapidly descending fuel gauge! I wonder how long a 186 will last running at that speed? There is a good reason why a large proportion of Holden conversions had overdrives.

pftt....
just use a crumple zone, that'll pull you up a lot faster.

At 110 Klm/Hr you getting close to the top speed of a Holden powered Land Rover, which is directly proportional to the thickness of the ear protection you are wearing.
At 110 Klm/Hr you are getting close to be selected for the next James Bond movie, to be used as an extra to lay smoke screens!
At 110 Klm/Hr you need to be following a semi to pull up, the semi has a slightly longer braking distance.
At 110 Klm/Hr you need to wear a freezer suit, to keep the heat out.
At 110 Klm/Hr you need to watch very carefully for speed camera's, in 100 Klm zones!
At 110 Klm/Hr , how do I know all this?

Yeh and you will probally buckle the steering wheel because you will be standing that hard on the brake peddle!

Hi there
It can be sumed up in an easy phrase:
........With ear muffs on your gearbox & axels are your limits......
My views
Meh, u all make jokes about the distance it takes to stop..... Unfortunately it's all true
My ol s3 had 202 red, with overdrive, 30 x 10.5's, 3.55 diff, and top speed I got was 140klm/hr... And a whole heap of grey hairs too
My current s3 wagon with red 202, 4spd no overdrive, same tyres, same diff I got the other day 120klm/hr.... And I think I would of lasted maybe 5 mins, not sure whether I would of run out of fuel first or if the engine would of overheated....
