Depends how long it will take GM in the US to get rid of all their remaining stock of the current motor and how long it will take for Holden to get rid of their stock of the current motor after GM in the US push all of their unwanted stock on Holden.Originally Posted by hwy747

People should make GM badges and place them on the Holden's. something different
Holden got the l76 very fast, so no doubt they will be in test mode (if allowed) with the new motor.

Might be an easier to fit it into the Impala !
Just use a hammer and she be right lol
Hang on shouldn't this be an 8.0L? After all GM haters think the only way GM can make power is by going up in cubes.
Oh really?
I like your thinking!
celebrate disrepair
nah! too easy. this 8 litre things sound good though, where do i get me one o' them?
Thats because all they have done since the gen 3 is up the cubes.

wikipedia quote about the 327 SBC:
In 1964, horsepower increased to 365 hp (272 kW) for the now dubbed L-79 version, and 375 hp (280 kW) for the fuel injected L-84 respectively, making the L-84 the most powerful naturally aspirated, single-cam, production small block V8 (aside from the limited-run Ford Boss 351) until the appearance of the 385 hp (287 kW), 385 lb·ft (522 N·m) Generation III LS6 in 2001
who said chevy couldnt get horses from small cubes
No different to Chrysler, and Dodge at the end of the day.
Now That's How We Roll!
bring on the 8litre... Gotta get me one too.
Sound's like a step in the right direction. Now all they need is a couple of overhead cams.... But I do like the V8 rumble....
Of course it won't really matter what power they make with it in the US as they will just de-tune it a bit (maybe a lot, like the LS1) for use here in the commodore...At least at the start.

There was talk once, that GM were to develop twin cam and 4 valves per cylinder for their OHV motors.
Tells it like it is.
Why does it need OHC?
Reaper
It doesn't. But you can make power easier, and is smoother. (I'm talking about twin cams or more)
OHC allows for superior cylinder head design - more direct ports as they don't have pushrods in the way, better high rpm stability, lower valve spring pressures
GM's best small block V8 - IMO....
The 5.7L, LT5 405hp/385ft lbs (302kw/522Nm)
this was back in 1993 - imagine the potential it would have today with modern engine management/ignition systems & higher octane fuels
