The 5l, just sounds so much better than a LS, sounds like a proper V8, Aussie muscle 💪👌

Nice series 🍻 Up the mighty Iron Lion! 🇦🇺👍

Love the Holden 5L sound. just tough AF.

It's good to see someone who has stuck with the old 5 litre and not do a LS swap! Great video boy's...

It does sound good. I've also always loved the sound of the old 253, for some reason it had something wholesome and modest about the sound that the 308 and the 350 didn't seem to have.

Great to see the old Holden up and goin. Awesome content Guys.👍🔥💯👏💨

How GOOD does that sound? Nothing quite like an Aussie 5L. And you're dead right, 250-odd hp sounds like nothing in today's era, but with the right set of diff gears would be fairly spritely on the street. Certainly a mid-low 13 second pass if the dude can pedal. Been pushing 330rwhp through my T5 for many many years on an unopened 304 with 11psi and while 3rd gear has a liiiiitle bit of noise, im surprised it hasnt let go yet haha. I do try to give it a fighting chance though. no flat shifting etc. Great series, well done blokes!

Be nice to see this one come back someday!

Loving the 5L stuff guys! They sound so tuff and go well in the lighter cars. Cant wait for the boosted 3.8 content!!

What a nice rig, I've got a VS Caprice with a 5L as well, they sound mint. These old girls seem to attract a bit of attention from Gen X, there's always some bloke in his mid 40s who comes over for a chat when they see a VR/VS SS or 5L Statto/Caprice at the servo.

Beautiful, must have missed that it's a manual. Love it.

Awesome video guys!!

I heard those two clangs aswell. Tuff idle

love it.

Aussie iron all day

I managed to get an edelbrock manifold for my 355 from Amazon US of all places. Did the owner end up getting it done?

Makes me miss my 5lt vr statesman

Is it possible to get a pice on this cam package how much for Labour and parts minus the computer upgrade just price on cam package and labour cheers.

Lez go! 🤠

You ever figured out what the weird ping noise was? It was clearly audible from the outside. 🤔

Cool vid and all but what sort of flogger gets around with those wheels on a car like that.

I'm biased since I have a VS SS Ute but in my opinion, the 5L is the nicest sounding V8. We all knew the bunch of bananas manifold would be restricting. Very enjoyable to watch. My BMW E61 3L NA 6cyl is faster then my Ute but the Ute is more fun

What was the costing of all that to be done

This was for sale on gummy

Ive got the vs ss. Similar colour same bonnet too. Basically looks like my car besides wheels n ride hight. Even got the clubby kit on it. Spun me out when i seen yours and have watched the series😎👍. Anyways all vs come out with speedo out by 5 kmh. 100kmh is actually 95kmh. Holdens attempt at slowing everyone down on the roads. I'd do a leakdown test then compression test when it's properly warmed rite up to make sure no lions have escaped the top paddock. Aren't they around 250hp stock? (185kw)??

What was the budget on it? Cause I have a 5lt vr ss commodore. I want to stick with the 5lt.

304/308>LS for sound, all day. 🤘😈🤘

What sort of cam did you put in this? sounds pretty good!

How was the torque curve and figure

Would the helltec be a good option if I'm to add a pro charger to my 304 in you opinion?

The old 5l is far from A modern v8 but they are not worthless,they have the torque down low in the rpm range witch make them fun to drive if u dont like revs they are reliable and they are not the worst with fuel if not been floored and they sound so awesome vs any other v8..

👍🏻🍺👏

How do I become a channel member

What about a Torque-power high rise dualplane Aussie made and good for upto 500+HP Surly a TP from Craig would be available?

iron kitten ..fan of the holden 308 and 304 thats kinda depressing .. plus u showed hp when really the old girls are all about torque.. there's quiet alot of after market high end gear coming out now higgins heads

Makes me want to rip the ls1 out of the vx and put a 5 in but unfortunately we aren’t allowed 😩

I'll sell you a vl Calais turbo mock-up with a genuine a8 engine

My wrx 2L turbo got 215 kw at all wheels. 2018 model pretty stoked only weighs 1500kg Turbo back indiva exhaust process west verti cooler and air intake.
