They are plenty reliable. Where did you hear that from. And by modifying them, what are you talking about. You have HSV which is sorta like Ford SVT. They sell special edition hot rods. I have plenty of friends with Holdens, no complaints from them.

I think for the average car that Holden uses the LS1 the tune , the sump and the exhaust manifolds are the only parts that are unique .
The LS2 (from what i read) will only be used in the HSV cars .
