BACK IN THE SADDLE
WHAT a thrash it has been to get my POR440 VG Valiant back up and running after it being stuck in the USA for almost a year following Hot Rod Drag Week 2018.
The car needed a big birthday; it had done Drag Challenge here in Australia, two years of racing and driving across the USA, and competed in two Drag Week events.
“THE PROBLEMS STARTED EARLY; THE MOST SIGNIFICANT WAS A LOSS OF FUEL PRESSURE ONCE THE ENGINE SAW BOOST”
I had sold the old trusty Gen III iron-block 5.3-litre LS in the USA (it has since completed another Drag Week with the new owner) and we decided to replace it with a L33 stock-bottom-end 5.3.
