It's all good.
At the end of the day it's just a vehicle for fun.
I can always come back to it another time in the future.
It is a bittersweet moment but life sometimes you need to sacrifice.
If any of you are interested in importing the vehicle to the USA hit me up.
You would have one of the rarest cars in the country.

Sorry to hear this news Bortous, but I’ll say the opposite of the others . Do everything in your power to hang on to it. Your going to lose a heap of change from works already done. Since Holden closed the lowest % rise of all hsv models is 30% increase in value. HSV Vx”s with 130k plus ks on them are fetching $65000 where as before Holden closed you could pick em up for $20,000, and all hsv models are just going to get more expensive. To get back in you’ll pay thru the nose
I paid 16k for a vs senator215i with 45,000 on the clock five yrs ago, there asking over 100k for em now with over 100,000ks on em, whether there selling is another story tho.
Mate think big and do it all

Life is Hard right now for Many with all the 💩 going on.
Life comes before a BS car.
100% FACT.

1 reason I've Never Went to the Bank and made a Large withdraw on something that

Loses Value (Rule 1 from Pops on a Car *ASE certified mechanic *RIP*). This is from someone with No 401k and HOOD. Reason i do 1 part @ a time this is a Expensive Hobby. It's all good when the $'s good

B can Always find another Body style...and he's still got the original stroker....Cars come and go. Life never Leaves and will Hit you right in the Kisser.

Life doesn't work by if ....

Sorry to hear Bort. Hopefully you’ll get the car bug again when you have the time and spare cash. We’ve all been there

Mick has a valid point keep it and just take a break. I'm not selling any of my cars or any of my parts. Been there done that in the past not worth it. With inflation you will just end up backwards if you sell it all. I'm taking a break from my camaro for a while as it eats up too much of my time an energy especially as i do most of the work myself but i'm not selling any of it

No.
I need to sell it regardless.
Someone make an offer and buy it so I can maybe read about any future modifications on here.

The engine will be finished off on the dyno once the stall converter is done.

Been here before myself....... Sorry Peter Personally I would try and find a motor, swap it and sell the 434. You will make more in the end. They have LS3 for $4999 here in USA or even find a junk yard motor for it.

So the hell with the 408 😭
go get another Engine 😭 and Spend more 💰


Very Smart.

B's got one or 2 choices.....

Sell it as is with the 434 or replace it with the 408 that needed a little fixing. Selling the engine alone would be Best done by Someone like

Mamo with someone Who's wanting his product.

Racing Junk is losing on what's been spent, or Pennies on the Dollar. Who's got 25k on tap? Sell the whole package with rwhp dyno #'s. Key is finding someone on the market, for your idea oof a car. SELL THE NAME MAMO YOU'VE ALREADY PAID FOR THE PRODUCT.

Indeed. He could sell the 434...or part it out...and make more from it than selling the whole car. Won’t make a difference what engine is in the car as long as it’s a good running LS. A car like that won’t sell for more money with 600hp vs. having 400hp.

It would be quite the deal! Just the small matter of registering it here.
Basically impossible since it does not pass our safety and emission standards. Otherwise a slam dunk,,,
