what do u think about the LJ Torana

[crisis]

That will go great even stock.

It is unlikely to stay very stock. He is getting it set up to be registered though. When he got it it came with a 202 and triples. He claimed he would just put that in and see how it went. I told him he would have a V8 in it in no time!
I won.

My brother in law is building one with a LS2 and a six speed. Has the body tubbed and painted already and a kit to mount the drive line.

The thing I remember about them is the off centre driving position. Never really did it for me but I liked the bigger Holdens and the LX Torrries better.

That will go very hard even stock, with a tune,cam etc 300rwkw will be easily acheived. Best of all it will be reliable and wont run like a pig compared to an old school V8 with cam,big carby etc. The only way to go is late model V8 with engine management.

12's stock the sub 10's are in danger.
Seen a VN fitted with LS1 stock and it was doing sub 13's.

We have kind of a contact within the dealership area who helps a bit too.

Sadly drag days are very few at the moment, there hasnt been a meet at AIR for sometime as the timing systems arent up to spec for ANDRA and theres no drags planned for the near future. From what Ive been told from someone in ANDRA it may never run drags again. The state/fed govt needs to build a dedicated motorsport complex similar to WSID that incorperates drag,drift and circuit events.

LS1 edit
I like todays V8's they can be powerful but smooth enough for mum and wife to drive around without giving them whiplash.
Take yesterdays cars My cousins 308 was rumbling over the place.

[Holden rocks]

have u seen the 5.7L HEMI from jeep

[SlickHolden]

Isn't that the same hunk of lump in the 300c?

[fpv_gtho]

Yes, its originally a Chrysler engine but considering Jeep are owned by Chrysler, they use it also. Much like how Holden now uses GM's engines.

Exactly the same

[Holden rocks]

I know that the HEMI is from Chrysler. it's in the dodge's to (i think).

Chrysler owns Dodge

A little LJ with a HFV6 would be a nice mix. Short rack steering would be a welcome addition resulting in a pretty impressive Rally (tarmac) car with fairly good balance. I thought an LS anything would be a bit heavy in the nose of a little torry (LJ anyway)

He will be spewing. Still as long as they don’t cancel them we are in no hurry. It has been standing there dormant for a few weeks now. The government really should support legitimate controlled drag events. Unfortunately they are all emotional about hoon drivers and donuts. They think dropping a burnout or a donut is extremely dangerous. I agree speed related hoon behaviour should be controlled but I would like to see statistics for death or serious injury dropping a burnout or doing a donut.
