motor question

[David Ellery]

Theres a LP2 over here that runs a 308 Holden V8 with a 400 auto transmission, Its been around for quite awhile and to date has had no problems. Just up the road from me is a British OP carrier ,the owner is going to box the flathead for storage and drop a 350 chev in with auto. I myself would love an original flathead, but due to the cost of rebuilding one here ( NZ $6000) will most probably opt for a modern V8 ($600) just to get the beastie up and running so as to enjoy the carrier while working towards fitting the original drive chain at a later date. Cheers David...
