As you guys know I’m changing my motor to a V8 5L Holden type. It has begun this is as it sits today with the 4.4L Leyland and by the end of next week there should be a new heart pumping my beast along.
PS I'm liking the look of no bumper on the rear aswell

wacked1 may i sugest an exhaust system as this is what my cousin had in his 76 camper ,you use ealy commodore extractors inthe standard position then a u bend and a muffler on each side and straight out the back and sounded great
Don't let body work get in the way of real suspension travel
Hey man i think what you are doing is great! V8 in the back of a kombi unreal!!
However wouldnt you be better off with sticking with the Leyland instead of the big lump of iron Holden??
The 4.4L leyland is all alloy isnt it?
I wouldve thought that the weight of the porky holden engine would greatly affect the stability and safety of your kombi....
dont take any of this the wrong way these are just some questions that i have for all i know you couldve researched it a great deal and found that the holden motor will be great!
i dont like holdens so im biased 😉
keep up the good work mate.

Of late I’ve been toying with the idea of stroking the 308 to 355 cubic inches it’s not a big job and not that expensive. A guy owes me a bit of money and he’s agreed to get me the stuff I need so I haven’t done much to the motor lately here is a pic of the motor with the injection on
