hey guys just letting you know, a mate of mine got bored and decided to put a holden 253 in a sigma scorpion, suprisingly they fit relatively well,
he is planning on using it at the burnout comps when he is finished lol..

picsorban :D:D:D

mmm will next time i go up there.. i nearly fell over when i seen it he said that he had to change the engine mounts around a little bit, but other then that he couldnt believe that it went in that easy the power to weight ratio will be enormous when he is finished lol...

no shiat eh...

cant wait to see some specs... has he done a dyno yet?

we should all use our gumption & work out exact power to weight ratios etc :D

*calculates mine*

rofl...

mine (worked out on stock engine kw's @ 180) is 8.333r kW per Kilo (assuming mine weighs 1500kg even)

(oops, just realised im in the 1st gen sec, apologies peeps :D)

how much power you reckon? hmmm so i presume yours is a 2 door sigma scorpion like this one is lol... yer.. he got bored so he is rebuilding his chev... putting it on a HQ ute chassis so it dumps it, but once he has done that he will get bak to the sigma.. i will take pics wen i go back up there... he lives in mannum adelaide lol

hehe im buying a sigme aswell :P ... only going to be 2.6L gutted with locked diff more a bit of fun at mallala drift pactise days

haha sounds fun rear wheel drive magna basically lol :P

there used to be (dont know if its still about) white sig round sydney with a 351 in it...very nice

The 3.8L V6 fits in nicely too.

The 253 isnt overly powerful - 115kW stock (blue with 4 bbl) with twin exhausts (100 without). I will admit that it is pretty good on fuel for a V8. With some mods they go alright though.

My Commodore feels slower than my Magna but :(

yeah i know, they aint that fast but it is different lol, i guess, should drive it round till it gets defected :D

Yeah i was going to say dont worry about the 253 and get a 308 instead. If you plan to bore out the 253 you want get much out of it anyways (compared to the 308)

Or get a v6 echotech with a supercharger ftw!

Or stop wasting energy on **** cars :bowrofl:

There still is two i see.. one with ANil8 plates out campbelltown way.. and one with Jap351 plates i alway ssee to.. both very fat cars.. :D

Or stop wasting energy on **** cars :bowrofl:
oughta take ure own advice there. :D


lol

mmm it was just a project to see if it could happen,

oughta take ure own advice there. :D


lol
No comment on that one ;)

I've seen a 308 conversion, looked MAD! Went hard too. The 302 is also a pretty comfortable bolt in.
