I bought a new l67 S pack in 1998 and still have it, around 270k km, completely stock. I remember going for a tour of Holden Engine Manufacturing plant in around 1997. They had a stack of these engines on crates that they imported ready made from USA sitting in bulk in one section of the building. I always wanted to turbo the VT with a compound setup but ended up turboing EA to EF falcons which was a better and easier car to make good power IMO.

Great review of the Calais, Ross. I love the work he’s put into this car to make it as quick as it is. I really like that he’s kept the exterior stock. It like the colour too. Love the sound of supercharger whine. The 0-100 was quite impressive. Would love see what time it could get with more traction and a better surface. A credit to the owner once again.

Thanks for the review John. I had a fully optioned tungsten grey 2004 L67 Calais and I loved it. Such an underrated car and engine, but also underwhelming without mods. So I went ahead and did a 10psi pulley swap, water to air intercooler, exhaust and tune and it was awesome. Cam, rockers and stroker kit and they become an absolute weapon. Another car that I can add to the list of regretful sales.

I've got a couple l67. After building the factory stroker in the vr I wanted to play with the l67 after knowing a bloke with an 11.1 VP with one. With the price of ls motors and getting a 304 quick they're good option. I'd owned plenty of turbo cars but never a blower so decided to go that way. The 210 @.050 refreshed stock l67 with headers and a spacer is cool in the vu/vy/vz mongrel ute I've got. Now I've got a +1 mm oversize , forged rod , main studded , 216/226 xpz cammed , a2a motor on the stand with a Baz modified blower for a vs. Another 100rwhp and 300kgs lighter should be exciting!

He spent around $16k on it 328rwhp.... which doent sound like a lot but it made 1163nm of torque... my mate sold it cheaper than he should have and then 6 months later guy tried to sell it back to him for more fully thrashed out with a different diff and transmission.

As much as the revised sv6 engine would have been nice with a supercharger or turbo, why would they? Off the floor it made 190kw from 3.5L, which was 19kw more than the supercharged 3.8L L67. I've always thought the L67 had shockingly low figures for it's size, both in NA and SC form. This here, is very good to see a L67 made into the engine that it should have been from factory.

But be good for alot of people to know as you I assume would agree you don't need to spend a fortune to a have a nice ride. I take my hat off to those that spend alot of money and you can clearly see that some of their projects are beautiful. But definitely the 300 to 400 range with the correct drive line you can certainly have fun and impress some people. Obviously in safe circumstances 😎🙏😄 That's your hey? Very cool I remember them saying the name Shaun. Sorry if I'm wrong but yeah I really liked your ride mate very cool.

@@catfishcalais AWESOME mate I'm having fun in a very clean BF G8 Fairlane 06 model. Mine is pretty much all original couple little tweaks I've got just under 345 HP She's a long wheelbase but if I want I'll loose traction in first and nice little chirp in second. The 5.4 litre pushers her along just nicely. But their isn't to many of the G8s. She's in almost perfect condition owned previously by the one owner who sadly passed on old age. He treated her from new like his child. I'm actually very proud to own her. Lighting Strike Silver charcoal black leather inside. Cheers again and best of luck with doing what you love 👍
