There was a slight dent in the right side front panel.
The gearbox was just about dead.
Needed new carpet.
This EH is truly a muscle car. The motor is a 186 with a three fifty holly and stage five heads. No it's not the original motor, but it can give a v6 a run for it's money.
100/10 fantastic
The EH holdens are great, desirable cars that should be kept at their very best conditions. My uncles EH has been fully modified to fit a 351 engine under the hood. It took 2 years to do right up. It has been taken right back to its original condition besides the front end. EH holdens rule the world of muscle cars.
Gawd... you fitted up an EH to accommodate a 351?? Talk about sacrilege. If you really think you've made your EH 'desirable' then as an EJ/EH enthusiast, I'm sorry to inform you otherwise... no self-respecting Holden driver/owner (especially one who owns an EH) would be seen dead owning or driving a Holden with a Ford transplant!!! The value of the car will also have depreciated in a VERY big way as a result of the engine transplant so forget about hoping to net a big return on the car if the EH in question is sold at a later date.
I dunno, I'm currently working on a 186s upgrade to the Phase III, twin strombergs, extractors, vacuum fuel pump, chrome dagger dipstick, the lot. Will do real well at auction so I don't see why it wouldn't work the other way.
The 5.8 will provide plenty of low down torque you won't get from a 202, but it is a trade off for performance.
For the ultimate Muscle, try a rotary, prolly fit a little easier, cheaper parts, easier to work on and will add heaps of $$value$$ to your EH, if twinned with decent sunroof and a pro stock scoop.
