EK Holden Wagon Rescue - Parked up for 15 years - Will it run and drive again?
Рет қаралды 3,141
27 күн бұрынIn this episode we have dragged an old abandoned Kustom EK wagon known as "Eddie" home. Eddie ran a supercharged norman grey motor back in the day but has been sitting out in a country backyard for the last 15 odd years. Sadly the blown grey is no longer fitted but follow us as we try and revive old Eddie and have a bit of cheap fun with him at some upcoming mud run/dirt drag style events.

The wagon looks tidier than I imagined it to be. Nice up grade on the motor😆👍😆👍

It’s not terrible but it’s more work than I’m prepared to go through at this stage. Still a bit to get done on the FB and the boss wants the van done by Temora. Will get it running and driving again and then it might end up on the market. Can’t keep them all unfortunately

Just found this video. I'm from Maryland. U.S.A. love the holden wagon. Gives me vibes of both the 59 chevy wagon and 56 chevy. I'm a long time G.M man. When they killed off holden made me sad. Somebody at G.M needed to be dope slapped. They made some cool looking and performing cars.

When it comes to motors better red than dead. I had a blue EK ute before the wagon that had a mild 179, a HR disc brake frontend and drag racing suspension that ended up with a hp 179 bored to 192 with a 25/65cam, solid lifters, a stage 3 Yella Terra head, a Holley 500cfm 2 barrel jetted to suit and extractors wit a 2 inch exhaust with 2 big Lukey mufflers to keep it quiet. It was built by Noel Tuckey in 1976 before he went on to write for Street Machine. That motor could do 135mph flat chat. I hit a cow late 76 so my mates and I replaced all the front and passenger door except the drivers guard as the original was better than the replacement. I had it painted black which really set off the 14 inch ROH wildfire mags and white tarp. After the Ek wagon I had that motor in a HD wagon.

If I end up holding onto it I’ll build it into a straight axle gasser with a blown red motor. But for now I have a shed full of grey motors and parts so will slap one in,, have some fun with it and see what happens.

The V8s hated my ute back in 1976-77, lol. I used to blow them off easily.

Gee they did a rough job on the engine mount 😮😅

Came out easier than the engine. I think sitting around rusting away for the last few years hasn’t helped. Lucky I don’t need that bit 😂

@Greyghost_138 yeah was thinking the same, you gona sell it? Yes sweet it's not needed then, putting the old side plate in?

Unsure of the long term plans at this stage. I have a FB wagon that’s close to completion with an LS conversion in it so I don’t know I want to take on another big build just yet. Will get it running with the grey motor out of my other wagon, have a bit of fun and see what happens. Perfect candidate for a gasser build or if someone wants to put the effort into it, it would be able to be saved with the usual rust repairs etc.

Stick with 186.

If I had parts to get it running I would. Aim of the current version is to get it running with what I have without having to spend lots of money on parts I don’t have. The shed is full of grey motor bits and pieces so that’s what this version will be. Who knows what the future holds. If I keep it and follow my plans for it, it will have a red motor back in it…. Stay tuned
