What a great vid guys, I have a real soft spot for the old Aussie designed and built engines, and as I’ve heard once or twice before, ‘there nothin’ like the sound of a v8’

Great build . A tough Holden V8 does sound bloody nice .

@@AndrewMitchell001 It has to do with head design, too. Siamese port 18 degree SB Chev's sound better than Holden V8's IMO due to the heads and firing order. But I think we can all universally agree that LS Chevs are one of the worst sounding V8's in existence LOL.

That looks like it could keep revving well past 8000rpm and making more power up there. 👍 Just awesome. 😎

No where close to this budget, but I helped a mate with the cam, heads and intake for his 308 project. I fitted LS6 springs, small retainers and +0.050 locks with no machining to 5.0i VN ported heads with standard valves. It flowed 230cfm@0.5in lift, and with the ported Edelbrock AirGap manifold flowed between 200-210cfm per port. Rest was standard fair, only 0.060in over Mace flat tops and a 290 advertised duration cam, 232@0.050 with 110LSA and 0.49in lift. While in the running in and basic tuneup, the thing pulls clean in 4th (of a 5 speed Supra box), 1500rpm at 50km/h. Climbs hills no trouble at that speed either. Performance is linear, no fall off in push. I was brave enough to take it to 7500 and it did it effortlessly. Admittedly, it's in a light VC Commodore. No benchmark performance numbers as of yet. All said and done, it only cost me $1100nz for the springs, retainers, locks and manifold. If you want to copy, watch your cam lift to prevent coil bind. The sub 0.5in lift helped me in this area. Sounds great too, doesn't go into higher pitch 308 "clap" above 4000. Just a nice, polished bellow.

Just an update. It ran an even 300hp@6000 on a hub dyno. The operator didn't want to take it higher however the power hadn't nosed over. Torque peaked at 4500. Compared to an early head 308, this one was up 50nm on peak, and 56hp. In fact, nowhere in the rpm did the smaller head win out. Even as low as 2000rpm was in favor of the injected head. What was different was the peaks were some 750rpm later for torque (4500 over 3750) and top end was 500rpm+ (5500 over 6000). The injected heads haven't given up at 6000 either, but power was no longer climbing. Considering the stock bottom end, it's best for the owner to stay on the underside of 7000, otherwise it won't last...

The biggest secret to engine builds is engine science and what is the best for reliability and also performance balanced, so the right products and the right tech in every aspect and bang for bucks you can get it right and when its right, wow 700HP at the crank all day long day in and day out. well done to all the team members and i hope more engines are shown on the channel, plus with out engine builders expert knowledge, as they say experience is the best teacher, not like some engine builders who will sell you the best parts but have no idea of how to put all the science together like LSA lobe angles based on air flow rates etc? Keep up the great work guys cant ait till more uploads are on.👍👍😎😎✔✔

With a combo like this (or even any well built Holden stroker) the block becomes the weakest part of the engine. Which isn't ideal, but beggars can't be choosers. Martin, you're welcome to build one to turn to 9,500 - 10,000. They most certainly CAN NOT handle that.

That's impressive, N/A & not far of 700hp on '98, great stuff. Just a shame it won't fit under many bonnets.

It really depends on ones goals, 12.7 on pump fuel is right on the edge for most, to achive that the lsa and lift would of been very custom as a general rule 355 10 to 11 to 1 comp vn rubbed heads a can @050 of 230 by 233 ish at 575 lift at 110 or even 108 lsa whit a sigle planeshould net 400 easily every day very very easily to hit 700 well you can rev the piss out of a 355, but a 383 or larger is the way to go, and much credit to these guys for doing it that way. i wont give away too much info cos we get trashed hard if we give up the so called secrets but just aim fora good runner that will hit 30 degrees on cas and 34 on ally and your already half way there

It's pretty typical. A well built 355 with the lot does 600hp (most 355s are NOT well built, just standard rebuilds with a stroker crank bottom end thrown in, which is why most are well below that). Add more cubes down below and better heads and the extra 100hp is easy peasy. You can tell by the hand-made headers on this thing, that there ain't no junk in it and no expense spared, even though the combo is 'street friendly' or mild.

And a wash

Peter Michael's made more than that 20 years ago with a 355 flat tappet with -3 yt heads ran 8,89

That's a decent amount of compression. Wonder what the cam specs are like?

12.8 is far from massive and compression means nothing when you have an efficient cylinder head. The camshaft is far from in the 280’s and anyone mechanically mined would know that in the 280’s is on the larger size that this combination does not require.

@@domdagostino8833 From most hot/wild engines I have seen 11.5 was about as high as I saw on 98 due to being detonation limited but of course if you have a big enough cam the dynamic comp drops enough to warrant a high static comp in order to compensate. In my mate's speedway V6 that I designed and consulted for him, we ran 14.5:1, not that the cam was big but that the rules allowed the use of E85, paired with a medium cam the result was a very fat mid range torque curve, it was only possible due to not being det limited on the fuel and could achieve MBT throughout. If it was still on 98 then 10.5 to 11 would of been about the max before det would limit achieving MBT.

@@domdagostino8833 Correct. Jesus christ, 900hp NASCAR 5.7's are barely 280 duration at 50. Do you know how massive a cam that is vnv8dude? That would be advertised duration of 319 degrees for chrissake. The overlap with a decent LSA would be near 70 degrees. That's drag racing ONLY. Clearly NOT the cam used in the streeter engine he's built, and it sounds nothing like that. It would be a baby, considered. Something like a 255/262 - 260/266 with a 110LSA installed 2 degrees, is what it sounds like. Probably even milder.

Where does the effective power band start with a tunnel ram like that? The 350 - 383 stroker engines are so old school, I would have never thought I would see one on youtube.. Was the crankshaft ever lightened up to give better throttle response for the 383 build? Beautiful engine but would it all fit under the hood? (0_o)
