Hey guys, i got 2 questions... 1) I just put a 308 motor in my ute, and apparently it's been hotted up a bit and it's an ex cop car motor from a VK (although it has blue rocker covers?!?)...I was just wonering if there's anything on the block of the motor that could tell me if it really is an ex cop motor as I don't own the VK it came out of (mechanics next door own it...) 2) Does anyone know what mods ex VK cop cars had done to them and what kw they came out with standard with cop mods? Cheers.

not much more than a normal 5L, just bit bigger cam and an air damn i thought?

i can tell you that an xchaser vehicle has bt1 stamped on the compliance plate.

yes thats right

i thought intercepter engines were exactly the same as every other turbo or v8 and them having more power or a chip was a myth....????

I've heard they have better compression and a bit of cam work...Just wanna know if that's true?

mostly all BS . the excop (bt1) wasn't chipped all it had was better exhaust and air induction........ thats all....

What's this "chip"? Remember this is before the EFI days...it's a carby 5L

they still dont have a chip. they just have a higher diff ratios so they get up and move quicker hence people assume they have a chip. i have friends at holden and in the force that say this is all.

Sweet, What's this chip supposed to be? Some kind of "super" chip that makes them go faster? Sorta like the Peter Brock polarizer?! Cheers for the info mate.

The only chip in ex police cars is a Maccas french fry

Holy **** guys, I know there is NO chip, I don't CARE about the chip.... I just wanna know if there's any other engine mods?! Like compression/cam or anything?

well i know they work harder carrying all that.. weight , and they get a fair hiding once in a while. wouldn't you with company supplied vehicles and fuel? Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

i was gonna buy an orig vk bt1 and the dude said its running a brock 304???
