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.

wacked1 - August 12th, 2004 at 05:07 PM

just adds a little more traction

well it will be funny to see the faces on the drivers at the lights looking for the V8 and all they can see is this bloody Kombi. lol

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.

sweet sounding engine :D

with the flame throwers ive always been scared to put em on a vw because the engine is right near the exhaust, you know what i mean compared to another car :( id be interested to kno if people have done it to a vw and if they modifyed to to suit the vw better :)

did i mention that thats gonna be one quick ass bus :O
