Given that they run a Chev motor, I don't think that says much about Holden V8's at all. However, your posting does say something about your intelligence.

It's a Chevrolet V8 block (very similar to that used in Nascar) built upon by Holden Motorsports.

Forget for a minute that it's a Chev block. *If* it was a Holden block, what heads would they use to make 620hp from a Holden 5L? VN ported? no way. Yella Terra Dash 9? I don't think so. Despite all else, the development needs to be there for them to have an engine that both makes the power and hangs together for a tough race like Bathurst 1000. The Holden V8 doesn't have the heads or development for them to be competitive. None of the teams would be crazy enough to design and cast their own heads for a Holden V8. The Chev V8 on the other hand has the extensively developed, proven, readily available hardware in Nascar racing to make the reliable power. Given the option of available proven hardware versus expensive development which may or may not be competitive, any sensible team would pick the sure thing.

Most of the teams are abandoning the chev V8 in favour of the GM-MS "Aurora" engine which is very close in design to the "Ford" SVO engine that the "Ford" based teams use. Of course they call the aussie arm of GM motorsports Holden Motorsport.

'94 Bathurst I think... maybe it was '95... whichever year they won about then! At the time LP didn't want to change to the Chev cause his Holden V8 was doing the business!
