but how about torque?

Yeh but how about weight.... i think it'd cancel itself out (pwr-weight)

Red 253 (standard trim ) 355 NM at 2400 RPM

arguable all holden 8's are shit to get power out of prior to the LS1.

That sounds like an informed opinion. I better tell all those 304 owners running 12 sec times in VN/VPs with street tyres and few $$ spent that they have pox motors and obviously those times were a mistake. And of course all those older school commos and kingas were shitfully underpowered when running quick times.

Personally I wouldn't bother with a 253 conversion, but if you've already got the bits there, and can fabricate/fix a few things then why not give it a shot. At least the parts are cheap for holden engines! A 4 barrel carb from a 308 and a bit of a decent cam could be good for a laugh.

BTW I think it's the sound of an 8, the economy of a 6 and the performance of a 4 in relation to 253's!
