I drove a hotted up 308 with an aussie 4 speed for years. It was very fast but that box won't stand much punishment. Nor will the diffs.
I broke a lot of both. And I knew I had to be careful with it. The 308 responds very well to good porting, cam, carb and extractors. The 4 speed box is crap and so is the diff. The V8 box is the same as the 6 cyl - only different ratios I think. The trimatic, done by the right person is a great auto. They were well known as crap in the early days though. It will be kinder on the diff than a manual box. The chev is a great option but then you make more power easier (because there are more parts available); you'll need a turbo 350 or 400 and then you'll need a 9" diff. A faster car but a lot more expense. The holden drive trains in HQ's used to be easily broken in 6 cyl cars as well; it's only time. |
