BA/BF 5.4L 220kw V8 performance

Postby mooseman » February 10th, 2009, 10:05 pm

I was wondering what the performance is like on these motors? How do they sound and go with say extractors and exhaust? I wouldn't mind one in a ghia as a nice cruiser...

Apparently it doesn't take much to get some power out of these, with a few small things like extractors and stuff I've been told...

People say they are underestimated

Can't beat the torque of a 3v !

send me an email and I can send you a sound file of the exhaust all done up, sounds better than a 'boss' !! like a proper v8 !

They're a good motor.
Not really that quick stock, but respond well to minor mods.
I was thinking, ****, my old man got a good deal when i found him his BA V8 Ghia about 2 years ago, with 60,000kms on the clock for 17k, if ur old mans is going for that Timmy.
