Well here it is, it’s a (runs and hides) Holden 5L 308. this motor ran a very low 12 second 1/4 mile pass in it’s previous car. It has large ported and polished heads with roller rockers and L34 valves. Edelbrock performer manifold old 600 vac sec carby getting replaced very soon by a custom EFI setup. Cam lumpy, grind ???? 30 thou over pistons, double row timing chain extractors etc, etc, etc this is a strong motor which should push my bus along very nicely
cheers

yes but a 5 litre Holden 308 will be considerably heavier.

just adds a little more traction

~air fooled~ you think I'm stupid!!LOL you can not have a matt black kombi without these, they're esstntial items on a car like this. they are $165 from
I bought a set of flame throwers for my Ghia, but I'm just a little scared to use them. I might use them on the beetle instead, less money if it blows up.lol.
