Gawd no. I had an EH Holden back then. A 149 with three on the tree was enough to skool a Morrie.

Meh, an XJ6 or P6 V8 would school the fuck out of that.

In between Lucas failures and oil top ups.

it's when it doesn't leak oil you should be worried...

I was always worried about the P6, it never leaked any oil. How the fuck does a British car retain oil? It was strange.

I had an XJ6 Van Den Plas as a company car once. I'd be inclined to bet on the EH if the race was over 500km.

That aluminium V8 was a peach of a hot rod motor though.

500km....an XJ6 won't get that far on one sump of oil will it?

I like the 3.5, it's cheap and little, makes pretty noises. Like an asian hooker.

**Big Dave** · 24th August 2011, 13:35

Would be better if it was at Morrisville.

**Indiana_Jones** · 24th August 2011, 13:55

But that's not as rude

3.5 is little

My mates 400ci Transam was adequate in terms of displacement (made a whopping 180hp!!!!! same as my tiny 3.5 did standard)

Yup, bring it down, I just got more cutting wheels for the grinder yesterday

Got a welder? Bring one down, I can do my subframe at the same time
