Aussie HJ Kingswood single turbo lsx376
Another Australian ute thread
I bought my Kingswood ute about 3 years ago, when it was running a basic Holden stroker setup. Since then it's been through a few changes.

Engine Type: LS1 from a Holden VY SS

Up until a few months ago it was my daily driver. Now I've started collecting bits and pieces for a big single turbo conversion

WOW... Looking at that as a "Yank", that just looks so weird, yet still strangely COOL!! Even though I know that Holden == GM, the side view kind of reminded me of a F*rd Ranchero that we'd see up here! (No offense intended!) And I flat-out LOVE that intake manifold setup you have!!
Very cool man, add me to the list of people who'd love to see a good vid or two...
