To christian this forum..I think we need a brag thread...stock, mild, wild..post em up!
Here's my baby
It's a relatively basic engine...
We got it for $350...NOTE $350 :P...from the mechanics next door out of an ex-cop VK. It's running etc and sounds beautiful (with no exhaust)! It's in a HJ one tonner which should be some fun!
Quicks specs:
304 (I guess) 5L block
Holley 750 (Yes i know, overkill...but it came with it)
40,000thou overbore
Turbo350 trans
"Good" distributer leads (not sure that counts for anything though)
That's all I can think of for now...It's got a chrome air filter sittin on it now, and chrome rocker covers are going on soonish.
Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
Its a blue 308 out of a VH dude,if it is ex cop it should have the big valve heads and will benefit from a big air cleaner and a rochester,good start go da V8.
Heres mine:
VL 304
Mild Cam, extractors etc... cant remember the rest
Got the air cleaner and rocker covers chromed
Here's a pic of the 304 new

Yeh, that's what I thought too but mechanics were telling me otherwise (and yeh, i saw the shell it come out of...blue VK)..So who knows.

haha one of my mates just picked up a vn ex chaser 5.0L with 215,000kms headers exhaust all that, looks great and goes so hard for $800 (yes, eight hundred!) with 1 month rego
BUT it was a theft recovery that had been used in a drive-by, still its a stupidly good deal!
