looking forward to seeing the finished product.. might be a pushrod v8 (have they moved on to overhead cams yet? i don't know..), but with 290kw on tap from a growling v8, i ain't arguing.

Boss V8 is DOHC 32V - surely you would know this being fitted to an Australian car?

I reckon of all the engine swaps people have done to poor Stazzas, the Boss 5.4 isn't a bad choice - as far as V8s go it's probably one of the better ones out there. Pity it's still quite a large and heavy engine though, an LS1 (or LS2) or even a 1UZ-FE would have been better being all alloy and relatively compact.

that will be an ill handling lead tipped arrow... if they make a near two ton falcon nose heavy imagine what itl do to the poor starion...

if it's being built for drags then that doesn't really matter?
plus, in my eyes, that just means there's another nutter starion out there :)
