my fucking Fairmont Ghia BFII is a Triton 5.4Litre ... 230kW and massive 500Nm of torque;) ... its a 6 speed auto ... and of course as any Aussie car its de-tuned from some 280-290kW... i have a new ECU software, Flow master extractors, Cold air intake... now it makes 327kW/640Nm and it eats shitty 3.6 and 3.8Litre and 5.7 and 6Litre commodores for breakfast;)

this is the worst car ... i mean car ... not the car ... but the engine in it ... 3.8Litre pushrod ... oil leaking , overheating ... at least here in Australia...it totally killed the Holden Commodore...worst engine ever with a very poor torque delivery and very prone to breaking...while our big 4Litre Inline Six Falcon was always a winner;) still is;) Go Ford
You clearly have never owned a GN or Regal! Everything you just described sounds like a Ford engine lmao I have two 78 Buick Regals, one has a 3.8 and the other has a 4.1, both Turbo and they run just fine. Yes, like any other car, they require some work. but if you know what the fuck your doing... you wont have any problems at all! I will admit the my first (original) 3.8 had bad oil leaks and overheated a lot... after sitting in the garage for 12 years! lol That`s why it now has a 4.1 in it.
Australians are great their diehard fans of their cars
