308 V8 Holden Powered Toyota Tarago Van

[350stato]

1984 Toyota Tarago V8

I have been thinking about selling this for awhile now, So will put it up to see how it goes, Not fussed if it sells really, but cant really afford so many toys,

I have had this van for about 5 years, The motor conversion has been in it for about 2-3 years, It was originaly a 3Y 4cyl and 5 speed manual...... It was far to slow.......

It now has a mild 308 Holden V8, The motor was built by "The Brock Shop" a few years ago, It has been very well looked after and very regulary serviced,

It has ported heads with bigger valves etc, Flat top pistons, Fairly lumpy cam (unsure specs) Edelbrock manifold, 600 Holley, MSD Coil, Crane cams ignition unit, Crane cams electrionic dizzy, hi volume oil pump, hi torque starter motor etc, usual good gear, It has a 3000rpm Hi-stall convertor, trimatic auto box, Hurst pro ratchet shifter, Running Commodore diff (3:23 ratio, really needs 3:89) It has twin radiators with thermo fans, I have just installed a stainless steel flexable bottom radiator hose, (sprintcar style)

It is Mod plated for the conversion and registered as a 308 with the current motor, Registration due in July 2012,

It does however need a new exhaust as it is running standard exhaust

manifolds and a bit of a rough exhaust, The motor is restricted as it really needs decent extractors, I have the extractors off the motor from when it was in a Commodore to go with it, 1 side needs slight mods to fit, other side fits ok, Although it has been running on this set-up for about 2-3 years so far, I do have a twin 2.5" exhaust to be modified with 2 "Hooker Headers Aero chamber" mufflers that can go with it,

The van itself does have some rust in the usual Tarago places, and the paint is a bit rough, few minor dents etc, woul need a paint job to look the part again, Also needs a windscreen as it has a crack in it,

I am still fixing it up slowly and will continue to do so untill sold, Exhaust will be getting done in a few weeks.

It is a pretty cool cruiser and gets lots of looks (many unsure and confused ones) and definatly a whole lot of fun to drive,

It is still an 8 seater van so you can go cruising with 7 of your mates

May swap or part trade with cash my way, open to offers

Asking $4500

Late reply but yes, Should be right to rego in NSW, it is Mod plated and has engineer's certificate, Currently registered with the motor in it, Also just have put a new exhaust on it, Now runs stock exhaust manifolds, twin 2.25" exhaust into 2 "Hooker Aero Chamber" (read bloody expensive) mufflers with twin 2.5" tailpipes, Sounds great, Also has brand new (read also bloody expensive) High torque geared reduction starter motor.
