Why Would You Put A V8 In An XU1? Or Wasnt It A Real One.?
I Hope You Kept The Original Motor

it was his second xu-1.
it was modified as a replica of the road registered xu-1 v8 with a heavily modified engine.
engine was built for high torque so the 4 speed manual and 9 inch could run the 1012kg chassis 150mph yet still smoke in 4th (a legal speed in the territory until recently).
i liked my 1968 hk gts monaro more but it didnt go anywhere near as fast.
