Bit sad if it's only 240BHP from a supercharged 3.8 V6
But that may well be wrong :D
-
That seems to be one very impressive engine! :y I wish I had the money to putit into my miggy. :'( :'(
What would be it's top speed? :-/
-
Would have thought the top speed and performance may also be matched to the Holden final drive ratio's :y
-
Right thanks Skruntie, but any estimates of top speed if all transmission was transplanted into a standard miggy? :-/

Not found the exact info yet but what does 195 Kw equate to in horse power?

No bloody idea I'm afraid! :-?

Availability Supercharge Mechanical supercharging
Horsepower (HP/rpm) 233 / 5200
Torque (Nm/rpm) 375 / 3000
-
Loadsa extra torqe ( but saying that I dont know the torque rating on a 3.0 Miggy)
But for 13/15 BHP with a supercharger and 800cc it seems a bit naff.

Wow! That V8 sounds juicy! :y :y I love the idea of that in my miggy. Anyone like to sponsor a conversion? ;D ;)

Even less power on the 5.0
I thought the Aussies were all muscle. Seems not. >:(

Car Engine
Engine design Front, longitudinally
Displacement (cc) 4987
Engine Type - Cylinders 8
Disposition Cylinders V-figurative
No. of Valve 2
Feed System Selecting the injection
Availability Supercharge no
Horsepower (HP/rpm) 224 / 4400
Torque (Nm/rpm) 385 / 3600
Not for me
Would rather just drop a Chevy 350 lump and auto box in mine if I were going that far.

Here's the kit you want if you get some one to sponor you.
The LS7 engine is based on the same small block as the C6.R.
The figures speak for themselves: 505PS and 637 Nm of torque, delivering a
top speed of 198mph and a
0-62mph time of 3.9 seconds.

Well that would do me for now! :y

It's a fairly "old school" engine to start with though. Pushrods, 12 valve. Wouldn't be a patch on a 3.2 without the blower IMHO. I've driven the NA version in a yank tank and it was a pretty lazy engine. I'd guess at no more than 170 BHP. Pulls strongly but runs out of revs too early. [smiley=evil.gif]
Should be quite torquey with a supercharger on though.

Really! I didn't think this combination would ever be seen on a modern engine; pushrods takes me back to my earliest cars that I worked on of 30 years ago! :o :o :o

Not this side of the pond, no. :-X
Cast iron heads too, IIRC :o
