We'll see what turns up. Either way it will be getting a holden V8 in it. none of this ford rubbish :dance:

Holden FTW!!

Definitley get the 308. 253's and 308's have the same stroke and rev just as hard plus you can't go wrong with more cubes!

253's and 308's share the same bore not the stroke.

 

I was talking to Rollin Along about this and comparing the 253 and 308 is like comparing the 186 and 202.

 

The bigger engine has more cubes but the smaller one has a shorter stroke meaning they can rev easier.

Yes but you can't compete with capacity....LOL

:dance: They have both got the same stroke.

Rolling Along has his facts wrong then. 253 has a 3.625" bore and the 308 has a 4.0". I have a 253 in my other car, and a 308 for a rebuild and i've researched it enough to know.

 

The minor difference in mass between 4 inch pistons and 3.625 inch pistons has no real effect on the revving of the engine. Its all about the condition and the parts anyway. But seeing as so many parts are interchangable between the 2 engines your better of doing mods to a 308 as it will have more effect than trying to make a powerful 253.

I'm not going for all out power. not going to mod the engine apart from possibly extrators and carb if i need them. That way if i do end up grenading and engine I'm not up for copius amounts of money to get it back the way it was.

 

Going by what i was told "a better reving engine" and a "better screaming engine" i automatically put it down to a shorter stroke.

So what page is the skidz on i can't seem to find it.... :P

hahaha, i was actually gonna go out and get some skid vids the day i got defected :P

 

Might have lined up a 253 and trimatic. Just waiting to hear back if the guys still selling and how much he wants.
