Hey guys,

I have an idea to build a tough V8 car sometime this year. After being set on a tough 351 clevo (or 393ci stroker) XD Falcon, I'm now wanting a 355ci stroker LX Torana.

All this hype about 'V8s are the best' etc, got me thinking they must be great, so I'll build one. The problem is, I've never been in an 8-cylinder car of any kind in my entire life. So my question/begging/pleading to anyone in Perth with a tough V8 is, are you able to take me for a drive? I should specify I don't want to go in a forced inducted 8, or a crazy nitrous fed 9 sec monster. Something relatively fast though.

I'm located north of river.

Regards,
Jason

(thanks in advance to anyone willing to help me out)
