    680s

    We all know of the famous 600 ;) And probably of the infamous 690 SEL :o But who has heard of the 680 S :confused: http://www.supercars.net/cars/3531.html

    Rusty 6.9 Resurrected

    The D-Jet 450SEL that Jerry is repairing at the moment has a fair bit of cancer in it. Most people who looked at it 'wrote it off' and would not touch it. Why did I have a go? Simply cause it was a one-owner car and was religiously serviced mechanically, although the body and interior were...

    Wrong, on SO many levels!

    It wasn't the late Peter Brock who was into marketing. Rather, it was his widow, who was the best manager he ever had (except for the polariser :( ). She organised for him to do anythiung when he lost Holden. But he was a good mate, alway had time to chat with me on the radio. I miss his humour

    And Then The Sun Came Out

    It's been quite a dreary week in Old Sydney Town. :( Nothing but rain for days on end.:mad: Jerry was busy working on the 'new project' and my poor old 690SEL was suffering from weeks of dust, drizzle and general neglect. And then, about midday, the sun appeared from behind the clouds bringing...

    6.9 Transmission Upgrade

    We (in the Chevy fraternity) tend to use T350 as a straight replacement and upgrade from a 2speed Powerglide because of the simplicity of the exchange. Same size and same spline! T400 were in demand when you had serious horsepower to deal with. :D

    6.9 Transmission Upgrade

    My T700 was out of a VN V8 with cable shift. The 4speed auto in the Rolls Royce is an old GM design (from the fifties) that was fitted to the Cloud series I, II & III as well as Bentleys' SI, SII and SIII.

    6.9 Transmission Upgrade

    I have a T700 behind my 454-powered 62 Chev wagon. That big block produces some serious torque, trust me. ;) In my opinion, unless you are planjing to modify it, the 6.9 can be easily handled by the T700 ;)
