Dude I LOVE that you have done up the 253, they are such a hearty little engine

I see alot of hate for the 253 in the V8 world.I bought a 253 for dirt cheap and put it in my hilux.I love the sound and she revs hard.Its not fastest but sounds tough and reliable :)

That's impressive for the 253 Holden V8, great work man.

G'day th ed 8cylinder version of the Old 186 red motor. Some 253's could realllllyy rev even naturally aspirated. Cool to see a survivor😉🙂👍👍

Great job getting 600 horses from the old 253, I must admit I was pleasantly surprised reading that.

Saw this in action at Holden nats this year, the car is a weapon !!

That is a bad ass little engine, congratulations

WOW! That sound, like music to the ears. AMAZING!👌🏾

gave this an up vote just due to the level of crazy it is

From Cali. That's beut is off the hook.

That's awesome, so simple and cost effective. What I like!

Very impressive, well done mate 👍

Captain Kaos you obviously have no idea what your talking about. I've never broken a 302 rod. Crack a few blocks and spit a few cracks out when tuning was shit. My current 302 makes 640whp stock bottom end with stock trw fordged pistons. The 351 isn't much heavier than a 302 and with a completely stock long block has no problem making 800 to the wheel. You chebbie guys talk alot of shit.

This is so awesome.

A good engine because they have a small bore. They need a good water pump and because you have extra heat via the jimmy then you need to give more expansion room for the coolant. Tap the rear water passages and run the hoses to the expansion tank. Ideally run the waterless coolant by either Liquid Engineering (Aussie) or Evans(Yank). Notice the uneven temp on the dyno of the headers this is telling you that the temp is uneven in the cylinders. A good water pump impeller will make all the difference and the best people to talk to is bennettclayton engines.

Far out man well done I remember people used to say the ol 253 is good for a boat anchor you shaw found better use for one 😀👍

Only once they got rods did they go higher in my experience and even then it was usually something else that would go wrong at 6500 like a snapped rocker or the stock carby was starving it. That's why we went with the Holley carb, was always the go to for fixing that, along with a Holley blue pump. 👍 We just never reveed them above 7000 apart from my mates one who just gave ZERO f**ks about anything breaking as he had some rich parent dosh for rebuilds, lucky bastard. 😂🤣
