This Man is a God!! Everything as a mechanic we were taught about a EFI Holden V8's that wouldn't work just proven wrong. Banana manifold, small throttle body, no intercooler. Your a Legend in my eyes, great work, very inspiring.
For what looks like a solid basic 355 combo and blower this thing is sorted and super fast 150mph trap speed says that this think makes a genuine 600rwhp, which through the 5k stall and 4l60e is mega power
Hey man thanks for reminding Australia what a v8 is supposed to sound like.So good to hear that throaty cranky sound.The Ls guys try,but the best they can do is produce a noise like an old Toyota camry with a 2.5" red back "sports exhaust" on it,while they pretend there doing something different.Good to see.This thing hauls serious balls.
@John Winzil You'd think since you realize old mate's trying to gatekeep you'd not also do it yourself, apparently not lol. Anything can sound good, it's the same thing as bozos that act like drag racing is boring and x alternative is infinitely superior.
@@dyIanVII Gate keep? You nobs with your silly little American expressions.Ls's sound shit compared to...all im saying.Dont cry mate,it just a car engine.
Those old bananas are actually really good. I found them to make a much better torque curve than some of the aftermarket manifolds, the engineers knew what they were doing. Their only letdown is the elbow and throttle size. But you can get ones from Star that increase the size.
I wonder what ever happened to the Holden v8 casting patterns? They will be gold in the future, If DART could get a hold of them I think even the Americans would buy them just for something different.
@@paullee8772 There's a few Larry Perkins engines floating around that he personally modified in the Holden casting foundry and those who have them wouldn't know what they have got. I think he mainly put more meat where it was needed for more strength.
Soo nice to see one without an LS, RB or even a Barra under the bonnet, with an original Holden V8!
Agreed
Nice to see a holden with a aussie motor still in it
Great to see there’s life in the iron lion! Fantastic effort - love it.
So glad he didn't LS swap it long live the iron lion 👍
That wheel lift is nuts.
Congratulations to the owner for a epic build
It might be a mock up GTS but still a great sleeper, he's done his home work that's for sure great car.
That'll crack a 8.90s in right conditions.
All that with a 2 bolt mains cast iron Aussie block. What an awesome build!. Loved watching the video, keep up the good work boys👍
Fuck yeah Aussie iron lifting a front wheel, makes me feel proud to be an Aussie . I'm off to the servo to grab a pie and down some more vb's onya
Very nice build! Just done a 355 for my car. Over seeing ls in everything.
Interesting he’s just launching it from idle, no stalling up at all

Thats one tough plastic! 😍
Holden V8s to the front!
Lots of great engines out there but nothing sounds quite as good as an angry iron lion 👍
As always some awesome footage!! Got to love the Aussie V8. Just noticed Video length 3.08 👍
I would love to travel to Australia to see these cars in person. This one MOVES! Good stuff!
Come on down...after we all get the Jab😂

That's awesome to see... Long live the old Holden V8s
Love the telemetry on the passes. Which device is used to grab that?
^ x2 please!
Yeah that was cool as. Need more of it in the vids imo
That's pretty badass! Looking under the bonnet I'd be thinking "yeh probably does 11's or 12's"
Something about that sled I absolutely love it!
Nice little Easter Egg with the 3:08 Video duration... would’ve been a shame to go 3:04... love the old school 👊
That's a cool overlay on the video
Awesome car well done to the owner for the build
Super clean fast car well done to the owner.
Ive had a couple of iron lions. They sound fantastic. I wish they were as fast as this one.
Man this sounds good
It's the perfect all rounder.
Looks & speed
Great to see a 355 that hammers.
Boy that thing hooks up well and does appear it has had to be heavily modified at first glance.
Great job by the builder.
Great video love the Aussie powerhouse. Good times.
95 Holden stroked 5l, vortech blower ,1 bar of boost a little juice, tickling the 8s @ 151mph Tuff!
6600 RPM on a Holden intake (Banana manifold), impressive stuff.

While you maybe went a bit overboard, I can agree with your premise that nothing sounds quite like a high powered Holden V8 😍
@@TorqHub hahahaha! Awesome reply!!! Mad 👍

That's pretty impressive considering its still running the bunch of banana's intake, hat's off to oldmate!

Your videos are getting better and better
Good. Sick of the turbo v8s
Still on the Dirty ol Delco ECU 😂😂
Delco ftw!
sounds soo much better than an ls
Hot damn that thing proper launches off the line! Love it
I saw the thumbnail and was terrified someone may have actually ruined a genuine GTSR, glad to see its just a mockup, a bloody awesome one at that!
You'd be forgiven that it wasn't supercharged. Until it tears you a new one ant the drags.
The Iron Lion lives on!
Love the in car footage With the RPM Gauges going
Underated setup these days with the vortech
What a rocket!
Nice car mate and excellent job just excellent
Thanks for the video.
Sounds good too.
I want to see more GTS R's racing. Those deserves to be sleepers
0-100 in 2.3 seconds?? who needs a supercar
It's faster than a brand new 911 Turbo lol
Geez that moves
Beautiful rig! Great vid 👍👍
2 bolt mains with nearly 600kw I’m impressed
Limmi bash at 1:10 tuff!!!
Very well done!!! Good work
That's really cool 🤙
Super nice!
304 stroker lol awesome I have a stock One yet cam torque power intake cam coming
Holly fucking shit that's naughty. 780hp dammnnnn
Nice !
Has the car been mini tubbed? What size convertor?Very good combo

@@paullee8772 Yeah the COME block would be Awesome and with the capability for 4 inch stroke and 4.125 inch bore.
This is very cool.
#1 nice car.
What’s that bar from the charger to the back of the engine?
I like it!
quick car....and they say 4l60e are weak....
What a beast 👍⁉️⁉️
And people say these things can’t make power. Maybe y’all just can’t build them
instead of brian and dom rolling up in the supra against that black ferrari in the first fast and furious, this would be the aussie version.
Full factory trim too ?
Who tuned the Holden delco
Crikey the old girl gets up .. 1.3 short times are no joke
Thing's an animal 🤌
I thought a chute was a requirement for something of that age and above 140/150mph?
It's so frikin high
Any one know what diff gears ratio he has?
Up the ol iron lion 💀
savage
It's a seden and it still chops
need to find a man called karl jurgeson and do a spot on his mean beast
It needs one more gear. It has the power. Just try it see if I’m wrong.
Ur wrong it needs a 2speed glide.
It’s got a 4 spd
@@k3thou really she wants more. Shes making the power a diff gear change. Shes got more mph and et.
@@patt20b it wants more than 4 gears ?
@@patt20b it would be crossing the line in 3rd and that’s 1.1 ratio (same as top in th400 and glide).
Number plate: NOLAG
All engines are good its how good your wallet is
Needs a turbo
9 second pass with v8 supercharger and nitrous ,,, should run 7second ! Just saying #fail
Your an idiot and you know nothing
