I think the supercharged holden v6 puts out about 160kw or so. I would
be pretty surprised if they ever released one that puts out more than
the 8s in the S pack or SS commodores, not because it couldnt be done,
but it wouldnt go down well with thier kind of consumer.

m> That's David's Weitz's car. I stayed with him and his family when I visited
the east coast last year and got to ride in his 510. It's really torquey from low
speed and sounds awesome. The

that much greater than most four cylinders...the handling certainly doesn't seem to
suffer at all. He has got some

block hugger headers for them here which would probably work on a 510 install. I had a
Rover V8 in a Datsun 280C a

an L28 it was heaps faster than a stock one.
m> If you start comparing the Rover V8 to American V8's it looks really feeble
but forget about it being a V8...just look at the wieght saving and the fact you can
buy a ton of tuning stuff for

region. I probably wouldn't go this route myself a I like screamer four cylinder
motors but it's an interesting and

m> I was enquiring about a front spoiler from the US described as the
"ultimate 510 air dam"
m> Unfortunately it is $500 Australian plus postage so I passed on that one!
m> However the guy selling them said he had a 2-door 72 Datsun 510 3.5 V-8
(soon to be 5.0 V-8)!
m> The motor is an Oldsmobile 215CI V-8. It is the same as the Rover motor
(you know, the
m> all alloy unit they put in Triumph TR8s and stuff).
m> I asked him to send some photos, which he obliged so if anyone is
interested, I'll post them
m> on the Ozdat upload section.
m> I just can't remember or find the link to do the upload. How is it done?
m> I have the password etc.
