got a bit more done today, We spent a bit of the day chasing some manifold leaks and a minor oil leak, and just ironing out a few things we noticed last week when we started it up. we are having issues with the vl fuel pump, it is gravity fed and seems to be sitting to high to get any fuel once the tank is down to about 15 litres. so once its run for a while it runs outa fuel.. Not something i want to happen once on the road, so we tried lowering the fuel pump, but being a van and the tank is under the car and where the exhaust will exit the car we are a bit stumped on were to mount it  One consideration is just making a bracket so the fuel pump sits even lower or running a lift pump in front of the vl pump.. We also started on the exhaust, its running a stainless 2.5" set up that is being fabbed up by a mate at the moment. The pics taken are of it only tacked together, but it should be tig welded up in the next few days. we are holding off on the tailpipe as we need to see were the fuel pump will end up. and the tail pip might possibly side exit the car after the rear wheel.   I also mounted the wideband afr gauge so when we start it in the future we can see how rich its running  im starting to see it all slowly come so much closer to being on the road.... be good too as there are a few nice turbo vans coming together in adelaide at the moment...

a bit odd about pump youd think theyd self prime a bit. wasnt the commodore tank mounted under the floor also. unfamiliar with the van connections, you havent inadvertantly connected to the return line. the datto 1600 connections are side by side, crossing them results in same.

Yea these pumps don't self prime when higher than tank or tank outlet and aren't good at sucking so when setup as gravity fed shortest possible pump inlet hose should be used,oh and yes every vl had an in tank lift pump. Glen, For it to run reliably without lift pump it would need to be mounted at the tank outlet, at its height or lower.Since this isn't possible I reckon the only way is to swing it all to the right run a lift pump on rh side or front then vl pump in front of tank, also this should allow room for tail pipe. Oh by the way pano is coming together nicely. Keen to see it running ....as I am sure you are tooππππ Cheers

so its finished to an extent, it could do with some more tuning as currently its set to 1/2 throttle to only use the 2 barrels of the 575 mighty demon 4 barrel carb . We plan on doing once we fit up a 350 holley on a std manifold, then we will add some more boost as its only spiking at 7psi, but if the grunt it has now is anything to go by its gunna be a lot of fun once the bugs are ironed out. It has no problems spinning both wheels through 1st gear and a bit of 2nd when prompted. The best part is the borg warner lsd diff, stiff suspension and at the moment the hard tyres are fun. its not the same car as it was 4 years ago (stock pinto stock suspension) 1st drive was to the new skool old age show, then home, now we just look forward to developing it more and adding small things like trim to the rear and rear bumpers... its just nice to have it at home finally. and as some people know we moved into a new place last week with a shed just for the van, its defiantly been a busy month. sorry bout quality of some pics they were taken late in a delirious state fitting the trim.
