Injected 5 litre for sure. No 2 ways about it....

Ide say Carbi 350 chev and turbo 350 or 400 but not sure on legalitys due to increased capacity.
5 litre dont have alot of torque but each to their own as its a heavy car.
Too many projects.....
350 in an HZ sucks. Only way to get it legal is go straight gas....SBC needs to be in an HQ or it's a waste of time & energy. Mine goes pretty well for a stocker.
5 litre, just for the simple fact there is little to no engineering and fabrication issues. Plus, it's a 5 litre.
the v8 for ease.
We are about to embark on sticking a v6 into my HZ, and it does look like there will be a fair amount of work for it to fit!

Don't bother mate, just drop the 5 litre in and be done with it....Bolt in operation, plus the added bonus of no engineers report required (just noticed your from NZ, so not sure if that applies anyway).Originally Posted by chrrr

Yeah, I'd go with the 5L...
Chances are the Buick V6 will be well worn, requiring a freshen up, rings - bearings etc and I know what I'd rather rebuild, wouldn't be worth wasting the money on the old V6.
Although, if you got the motor for next to nothing, and wanted something different, then a V6 is a nice alternative to an old carby fed inline 6 indeed.
Depends what you want the ute for and how much money/work you want to put into it?
At the end of the day what do you want... A 5L injected motor, or a 3.8 Buick.
Yeah we can stick anything in anything here. I'm going V6 for performance. It's going to be running twin turbo's all setup and tuned by delcowizzid

5l FTW...............
At the end of the day its not about the money its about how you want it and were u wanna stop, i mean i could have just tinted windows put kit and chrome wheels on the car and lowered it and started a thread if thats what you all wanted but i love cars i love the feeling u get when ppl say mate u done a great job on this thing now that feeling is the very exact reason ill do it again on another car i enjoy any part i can play in the build and i def enjoy driving it
decided to put in what ever comes up at the right time for the right price
