That's 8.3ltrs in metric

Just seen one in a Barry Speed Chevy El Camino super muscle car.
His test drive comments engine feels strong... Your not kidding a crate engine pushing a conservative 600 HP !!!


Could this engine be put into a TVR cerbera as a performance upgrade?

Why not fit a supercharger and get over 1000 hp? Can't see any reason to hold back to just 600, especially in a lightweight car like a Cerbera

600 is plenty. Lol.
In sure the 506 would easily hit 1000hp but still for road use what gear and at what speed could you apply throttle wide open???

I own an old TVR weighing 960kg with 320hp 5.0L V8. With an effective LSD, both rear wheels spin up to 45mph in 1st gear even on the driest high-mu surface. The car is very fast. Making use of 400hp might be possible with bigger tyres. Beyond that probably doesn't make sense.
