Don't waste your time with a holden V8, put a 350 in it......then you can push a 2.78. i take it your in the wheatbelt and need a tall diff...
Yeah i am in the wheatbelt but i will be driving in the city a bit... with the 308 you have is it ready to go in or would it need work? .... I dont really understand diff ratios and the like so any advice there...

Buying a motor may seem cheap but then there's all the other stuff you'll need along the way which can really add up.
I have looked at doing that however i kinda want an old holden v8 to go with it... sounds better and i know them inside out haha
