Engine info??

Gen III in Australia is short for LS1 GM Generation III.

The the standard 250kw/475nm LS 1 GM gen 3 is a crate engine. Camaro. Holden do things to it...like

- a FACTORY 330kw/530nm and with a twin turbo / intercooler

- an under the bonnet blower option making them 440kw and 770nm bolt on.

A friend just traded in his work Ute, a 255kw version in a 1600kg Ute, and was a 5 sec 0-100kph and 14 flat 1/4 mile car off the showroom floor.

His new ute (arriving on his doorstep in 6 weeks) should be 270kw gen 3...it'll come with the
T56 6 speed manual, 80kph 1st/140kph second/180kph 3rd/220kph 4th/275kph 5th and 245 is all it will hold in .5 to 1 , 6th gear.

If you want more info on the engine...think
C-a-m-a-r-o.

Mind, if you use the engine, be sure to open up a trading account at your local tire dealer. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" />

(Oh, and I forgot. There is an AWD version of the Ute coming in January/February. Then, all we'll need is an adaptor to split the transfer. LS1 and T56 6-speed gearbox.)
