I keep thinking about getting a v8 of some description. Been watching too much roadkill on youtube, quite like the noise/setup of the nascarlo

That's an Australian import rhd only 500 made I'm led to believe, took the crappy 318 out, built up a 440 big block 9.5 c/r, whiplash cam, eddy intake and thunder 750 carb, and a new tci 3 speed 727 box and high stall convertor.

It's had no tuning just bolted carb on and set base ignition at 10 degrees and drove it down my road. Feels good and strong to me for what it is
