    Just go to your local auto/battery shop and they can tell you, maybe go for the V8 one it has a little more crankin power if your not happy with the old one.

    430CCA is recommended for a V6, not sure what a V8 one is.
    AC Delco make a 660CCA in the standard size, it was the biggest I could find that would physically fit,$150 and a sealed battery to

    I recently purchased a Bosch 610 CCA Calcium battery. It only cost a $130. I am thrilled with it's performance.

    You can find a stockist here. Holden should sell them.
