Any 308s running

[atk1]

Hey guys just wondering if anybody has a Holden 308 in their Bedford? If so what are they like? Any tips/tricks? I got a free recond 308 to use which is still in the Commodore which is apparently a police car model. Sounds nice running, just purrs. Alot quieter than my 350 Chev but I dunno if its quite as cool

Nothing purrs like a chev

id say nothing sounds like a chev!! they just sound fantastic!!!

[doofhard]

Yep and it's been toooooooo long since I heard mine

you could always record it on your phone.. then you could put yourself to sleep with the sound of that meaty V8!!

you will find that the 308 takes up alot more floor space.as the blocks are a much wider v shape.

A 308 stroked to a 355 will rival a 350 chev any day, they sound very, very nice aswel! my cousin has a 10k worked 308 sitting in his garage has been there for a few years... I have tried many a time to convince him to throw it in the beddy but he won't have a bar of it... I'll get it one day

Yes the floor has already been cut for the 308 and the hole is humungous!

The Chev definately sounds better than the Holden V8.

Is your a manual or auto, cause there ain't much room between the chevy donk and the steering wheel column. I'd think that you would have a hot foot in Summer with a wider V in your 8.

What bolt pattern is the 308? Does it suit your box? If it was me, I'd sell the 308 and buy some cool bits for the chev.

With the chev you are already starting with more!

"Alot quieter than my 350 Chev but I dunno if its quite as cool" - Definately not as cool!

P.S. Cool is what you make it! Don't listen to us Chev owners we're all Bias ...........But they do sound better!
