Carby v8 would be easier but injected would be good also, injected 5 litre with a crane 286 would be good for a high 12 or just wack some Vn heads on your 308 that's already in the car and put a decent size cam 236-240 @50, 4000 converter and a torque power dual plane and 750dp carby and would also run 12's.. All depends how much coin you have ---------- Post added 01-08-10 at 19:07 ---------- Sorry didn't read the part about selling.... Keep the car will be worth a Bit in the next 5 or so years, all the early holdens are becoming to dear and hard to get

Converting to injected is so easy I did an injected 5 litre a few years back into a vl Calais, you only have to powerup a few wires and will run straight away, you will need a vl rb30 injected fuel tank for the lines and return line and a trans mount everything else is piss easy

You could just full manual your box! But you would still need a Vn loom... Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

If it's factory V8 go carby, otherwise injected is the way to go IMO
