Yes I realise that VT II onward are powered by a Chev (although you may want to debate that point with STEALTHY who insists the LS series aren't a Chev....). And I'm not a fan of those Commodores having Chevs under the bonnet either. Would have preferred to see Holden redevelop their own V8.

But even this aside, the early models were powered by a Holden V8, and I just prefer to see them remain a Holden. Nothing personal against your car though - as said you've done a great job.

what a weapon. love it

Alright Darren L, I to would of loved to see holden redevelope a new v8 but.
I would of used the 308 i pulled out of it but when you put 500hp with a 100 shot of giggle gas i dont think 2 bolt mains would last very long.
Even getting steel 4 bolt caps and tapping block ive seen block crack internaly.
Ive got a bow tie chev block that has suffered that.
Thats the only reason i used a chev.
Plus i know chevs inside out being an old bloke.
And i will post video next time i bring it out for drive,This sat.
buy the way original diff is still going strong after some mean burn outs.
Salsbury diffs are pretty good.

thats funny

My diff is starting to make so noise now so i have got a vl turbo diff to upgrade to and im only running a near stock 350.

do you have any clearence issues with the dissy or with the extractors on the steering shaft?

 

[sportsedan4]

Yep had to cut a section out of firewall for dissy.Re-boxed it in and repainted.
Extractor clearance was tight but i remade steering shaft with Flaming river uni joints and some chrome molly tube.
I know diff wont last but will fit 9 inch then.
Have ordered a 9 inch housing with alloy centre section and steel tubes.

 

[sportsedan4]

Also have installed msd billet dissy.
There much smaller than those inferiour hei units.
