vr caprice 5.0l 304 v8 big lumpy cam

Only a Holden V8 sounds this good. They may be gutless but it sure makes of for it.

[@shanefitz-gerald1081]

Sure does and it wont be gutless once the 383 stroker goes in vt 5.0l block

@@shanefitz-gerald1081 sounds wicked! I have a couple 304s laying around and i think a good 383 stroker is a must for my VS ute after the body and interior restoration.

Yeah nice lot more people seem to be doing 5.0l projects which is awesome and the parts for them are alot more affordable

[@alfaholic3]

@@shanefitz-gerald1081 that's true but it's nothing compared to big 383. It's so worth it for the cost if you can justify it IMO.

Is that just a cam? Theres nothing else helping it sound so good??

Roller rockers and cam its probably the defilippo exhaust that makes it sound great going to sound even better now I've put a 383 stroker in it 👍

[@shanefitz-gerald1081]

The original owner got in contact with me and told me what was done but when i pulled the motor out it was only cam so not sure weather its been changed. There was a couple of owners after him

How much horsepower mate

[@shanefitz-gerald1081]

On the dyno it made 150kw 200hp lol Typical 5.0l they are all torque. In the process of finishing a 383 stroker so should go alot better

@@dimitrieglezos9906 this is an old vid i bought the car with the cam was told by original owner he built the engine and had done a far bit. But come to find out when i pulled the motor out to put vt 383 stroker in,that nothing was done stock heads stock pistons every was stock except for the decent sized cam not sure on size, and a set of yellow terra roller rockers to suit. With a cam this size its recommended to up the comp port the heads and a few other things it was definitely lacking in power before 3500 rpm.
