For the enthusiast seeking a serious Holden ute or a serious street machine this example ticks a lot of boxes. Once you get past the gleaming RED bodywork right through to the rear hard lid there is the motor!
Under the reverse cowl bonnet lies a 502 cubic inch (8.2 litre) GM Goodwrench Big Block Chevrolet. With its GM alloy heads, 850 Holley and Edelbrock Victor manifold this has the horsepower (500+) to put a smile on anyone's face. Power is fed via a turbo 400 and Dominator convertor to the 9" Ford LSD with stopping power via four wheel disk brakes. Genuine Centerline Convo Pro rims set this ute off perfectly.
The exhaust? 3" full mandrel bent resulting in leaving no doubt this is a BIG BLOCK and no pretender. One major plus is how easy these Goodwrench motors are to live with as being well mannered, very streetable whilst still being very dynamic and responsive.
The cab is fresh! Beautifully retrimmed and a new GTS dash makes sitting in and driving this vehicle a delight and will attract many compliments if going on cruises or meets is your thing.
When you sit back and add up the sum of its parts, this Holden ute is an ideal opportunity to enjoy a well sorted naturally aspirated big block. Once you have driven one you NEVER look back! Especially when it is 500 cubes plus.
