Hey guys.

I've been thinking about this for along time and I cant make up my mind, so imgoing to need some input.

Option 1: stroked and blown L67 manual.
Option 2:blown 5 litre manual.



When giving your input please factor in price, economy and power.

Help on this will be more then helpful.

Cheers guys

Blown 5L for sure, cheap engine, damn fine HP to be had very easily, sound tough as with a cam too.

Price, maybe bit more but not bymuch
Economy, worse than L67
Power, much better

[MiggzvsC0MM0D0RE]

How much worse is the economy in the 5L?

EDIT: YES, I AM AWARE THIS IS THE STUPIDEST QUESTION ON EARTH, DON'T BOTHER ANSWERING IT. Its not my fault, i was young, and stupid lol

blown 5ltr.plenty of scope for more bhp at a later date,if you lucky you may get a blwon 5ltr out of a wreck? 5ltr all the way i say lol(only cause i own one lol) best of luck with your choice

ive always been a v8 fan so a blown 5ltr would be good, but i have a mate that has a 4.2ltr l67 in a wh statesman and even with the heavy car it sure packs a decent punch for a 6

I think it is just plain stupid spending anything more than just bolt on's for a V6.
IMO if you have to ask what motor you want then you probably don't need a motor.

if your after power its going to cost you in fuel, you cant have both, great fuel economy and wicked power.
Id go for the v8 tho.

Yet another pointless car that will never happen thread. If you are asking about that level of mods and then want to know about economy you aren't serious.

To answer your question - Fast 5 litre = lots of fuel. L67 going just as fast will use the same if not more fuel.

Stroked l67's are not value for money IMO. Your far better off spending it on a Whipple or on the factory blower setup.

As far as which engine to go with, both can get similar results with similar coin, just depends on what you prefer.

As for economy, the V6 is better in stock form, but if your chasing power both will be thirsty.

Thank you must go to monkeys437, MR_VX, walsey, acarmody and justbad4you. You guys gave me helpful input as apposed to the other 2 who feel it's necessary to be snide. All I did was merely ask how the economy was on the 5ltr. There is nothing wrong with knowing what I will have to pay in fuel. As it stands at this point I'm going to throw economy out the door anyway and go with the stroked 5litre from C.O.M.E Racing. I'm not gonna bother charging it unless I feel its necessary. Again thanks for the input.

Lol - I answered your question just as precisely as any of the others you mentioned above. I look forward to your build tread.

Unless you keep the M90 bypass valve operational, then you get great economy on the Hway
6's are fail mate, build a neat 8.

Look into the Holden 5ltr based 4 bolt alum 427ci block Chev Offroad do... Tough engine.

Edit: Chev Offroad is COME

Sorry Reaper, its just that when someone basically calls you're car a "pointless, not going to happen" piece of shit, it piss's me off. You wouldn't be the first.

@ Trikkben: Thanks man, ill look into it. Right now its really just planning everything out. I need mucho dinero's to fix her up first, then she will be an evil tyre smoking, ground pounding beast.

I agree with Reaper why go to all this effort and dream about something that not going to happen on a vs exective as well my opinion save up some cash by a ss v8 calais stato or caprice and learn to drive that then think about spending some money on a car going from a stocka to alot of grunt ur prob kill ur self straight up take a couple steps at a time and not every thing is about being an evil tyre smoking ground pouding beast

[GEN3RATD]

Why no LSX lol.

[vscaprice98]

Why no LSX lol.

dont confuse him he not sure on power and economy lol

[MiggzvsC0MM0D0RE]

@DM55WA, considered it, but in the grand scheme of things, I couldn't be Fu^ked trying to make it fit.

@vscaprice98, lol, I'm gonna get stick for that forever. Was actually thinking about buying a SS to round around in while i have the car apart, then selling it to try and make some money. What's that I hear? Why don't I do it to the SS? I have a serious emotional attachment to my car. We have been through much shit together. As for you're first comment, about it not happening to a stock MANUAL vs. In the words of Jeremy Clarkson "If you believe something will happen, it will happen".
Besides that, I enjoy working on cars, it's a good release, lol. I may seem crazy, that's just the way I am.
