RT Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 Will you take a T9 in exchange? Very similar to the one that was in your garage until a few days ago! ha ha.. no, I had both the box's on auction at the same time.. perhaps you bid on the wrong one? To be honest the type9 will suit your requirements nicely. They are a good box for what you are doing. But feel free to buy this one as well! I need the garage space!

Was it boosted/NOS or did you make a typo? The heads can't flow much over 200HP according to the likes of Vizzard... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SYKOV6 Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 yeah was 3.8 litre v6 chev . i didnt build the engine but with the gear that was in it would have cost abot 10g to build from scratch the heads would have been half of that. i never ran it at the drags but my mate has a high12sec camaro and it could out accelerate that quite easily. if i knew then what i know now i wouldnt have sold it . i would have kept it and repaired the engine and sorted the oiling problem out. it had a hi vol oil pump at anything over 6000rpm it would suck the sump dry[bad] all it needed to fix was replace the pump with a stock volume pump and increase the size of the oil returns in the valley. check out my cardomain links for some pics of the motor out of the car, its the middle one. dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I toyed with the idea of the holden 3.8 in my capri but ended up getting the VG30 cheap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
