hemi twofifteen turbo Regular Location: Melbourne Registered: October 2003	Re: Corona XT130 engine conversion ideas Mon, 20 October 2003 01:39 Sorry my weight figures were wrong for the corona. My g/f had a 1980 wagon and i think it was 950kg or 1050kg not sure.. Did i quick search and found 1050kg came up a few times.. The commodores are around 1350kg. (depening on model) So about 200kg, which does make a fair bit of a differance... And considering the diff ratio advantage of 4.11 gears rather the the commodores stadard 3.08:1 or less likely but not uncommon 2.78:1. Ripped from a site: Fuel system:Twin barrel Bendix Stromberg carburettor Displacement:253 ci (4149.2 cc) Power output (DIN):185 bhp (138 kW) at 4400 rpm Torque (DIN):262 lb/ft (353.7 Nm) at 2400 Compression ratio:9:1 1050Kg + 185hp + 4.11 gears = Fun! If you put a decent exhuast and carby you'd get 150kw faily easy. Getting a 'half cut' of a commodore would be intersting I think a 'full cut' would be more common and cost about $500-$1000 If you get a 308cu, externally identical to a 253cu, they make 179kw (240HP) in standard form, (HQ-HJ Kingswood) A 'full cut' kingswood wont cost you much either!! Would be intersting, One thing that could be a problem is the sump clearance, but there are a few different holden sumps you could try out that would probably work. [Report message to a moderator]
