Funny story on that.
I lived at the end of a long straight road. I took off from a set of stop signs roughly 1/2 mile from home. Absolutely hammered it.
Pulled up in driveway and went inside. 2 seconds later a cop in a Highway Patrol, a Holden Commodore pulled up.
I went outside to investigate and he said “Jesus what’s in that, I couldn’t catch you”. I pulled the bonnet and he was super impressed. I asked what was in his and he went on to tell me the cops swapped the 308 Holden donk for a 350 cubic inch Chev motor. I asked could I have a look, so he showed me. We talked cars for 20 minutes and he drove off happily, no ticket.
Unfortunately I lost any photos of it when I moved out of home. So that’s one I got online, but mine was identical. And mint condition.
Here’s a publicity shot by
Chrysler Australia. They are a 4.3L (264 c.i,) inline 6 tuned by Weber in Italy.
Mine was dyno tuned by Peter Brocks mechanic in 1983. Sold it to buy a house. Big mistake.
