265 lx

I had a mate back in the 80's that put a genuine e49 hemi into his lc xui !1( even back then that was a terrible thing to do to an original xu1 ). I can honestly say it was the biggest pig of a torana i have ever been in !. Killed the handling( lot heavier ) and it would almost change lanes under power . Ruined the balance of what was a well set up car for club circuit racing . worst thing was in an lc he had to nip a bit out of the lip on the firewall to get it in and it was such a deep motor compared to a holden six that a descent set of extractors were a mere 3 inches off the ground ! Maybe different in the bigger lx body ?. ,but it would certainly want to be !.

Cheers
JH
