    Its the Vette 6.0 bumped up .2 ltrs, well thats my guess anyway, since Holden is GM and they all pretty much run the same motors, Oz or US.

    I agree, it was so much easier to understand when we also talked in horsepower. When I had my car tuned I did the conversion so I understood the hp, then I smiled:).
    It took me forever to discover the LS1 Engine (5.7litre) is a 350 chev??:yup:
    You are right all the GMH engines are from Chevy U.S. The engines we use are LS1, LS2 & LS3 these are listed in the link.
    The best info to translate the engines is from the wikepedia site (link attached)......

    I think he said 6.2 liter V8, its just his Oz Accsent was so strong to us Yanks that it sounded like 3-8
