what is the engine in this car?? Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

355 or 383 holden stroker, -9 alloy heads, 12:1 comp, Roller cam, yada yada yada

yeahh thanks for that mate im not soo good with the v8 vls um how much you think it would have costed the owner to do that work ???

10-30k. depends on parts used.

woooow thats a fair bit but yeah i see were your coming from i want something like that engine supercharged 6 speed manual but thats in like 2 and a half years from now but just wondering bout this stuff to learn from now lols cheers for the help fellahs

that engine is not supercharged, and wouldnt be any good with a manual. Motor made over 600hp on the engine dyno, car should've ran in the 9's. To built, if you walked into a shop, from a holden stroker would cost you about 25k.

And then the cost of trans and diff to suit... Building a car like that isn't cheap

aw yer probs a quick shift but i dont want to spend to muhc im in love with it cause off the twin carbi i know it seems gay thats its over the looks but i love my v8's aswell.... is there any engine that looks like that thats an 8 and i could put a twin carbi but wouldnt cost much cause i dont want it for racing just for cruising cause when i get my full liscense im going 1 month before it to get a rb26.30 engine rebuild racing 3 spd quickshift 9inch diff cut legs big turbo but about a year or so after that i want to buy another vl calais and put something simualar to that look with twin carbi's and supercharged manual but thats why im asking now soo is there anything else like that look thats cheaper i dont really care about the power cause it will be more off a cruising and everyday car and yeah i kno i got 2 years untill my full lisecense but i want to learn more about v8's soo i dont go to a mechanic talking stupid sh*t making myself look like a fool. Thanks guys.. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Google is your friend for information. Most 15 year olds want a 26/30 big turbo VL plus a blown V8 6 speed calais at the same time... it doesnt happen.
