Not Ranked
Yep, there's plenty of potential in the T3 motor. Mine made 197KW at the treads and it's stock apart from a very quiet cat back exhaust.
I reckon a set of aftermarket alloy heads and a good cam would really wake it up. I believe the T3 manual equipped cars were the first to get the Tremec TR3550. The factory fitted them because the standard T5 wasn't up to snuff behind the bigger motor.
Don't get the wrong impression here, I'm not bashing the Ford. I like both motors but the LS1 just made sense for my Cobra build.
The CR that sold in Queensland was Dave Samsons car. He used to get on here a bit years ago but I haven't heard from him for a while. his car was one of the older generation CR cars before the body shape changed. He was running a supercharged Holden 5.0 motor. He did also some neat stuff on it including fitting ABS.
Cheers
