haha - yeah true - but once you've driven a V8 you never look back! I was bitten at 19 by my first yank - a 5ltr Mustang, and ever since then I've been favouring cubic capacity over BHP! big lazy V8s are must nicer to drive than over tuned 4 pots like Evos etc - in my opinion. Also - its not how many miles per gallon it does but how many miles you do!
It's nice to meet you!=D Hope you meet lots of nice new friends here at Hoffspace, and hope you have lots of fun too. Take care & have a Hoffsome;-) day!
Hugs & smiles:)) ~your new friend, Renee'
Hi mate, well I'm not all that sure to be honest, a while back I had her up to 140, and it was still pulling, the book top end is about 160. 0-60 about 7 seconds I think. Currently the old girl is down a couple of cylinders - its been garaged for the last 4 years and I think I could do with some new plugs, a couple HT leads maybe or just a good blast down the motorway to get all 8 firing.
Its the 305ci 5 litre engine - not the 'big' 5.7 though.
Plans are to properly research the costs to get he back on the road properly and bring the engine up to spec this year. I should imagine factory standard is about 250-300bhp - but Mark McCubbin can probably correct me on that one!
