@splinter196
In Australia we had a road racing (open wheeler) series called “Formula Holden” which was similar to Formula 3000 but powered by Holden (Buick) V6 engines.
The series is currently not active. The engines were prepared largely by Perkins Engineering (Larry Perkins ex F1, ex Bathurst 1000) here in Melbourne, Australia.
The engines were basically “bullet proof”
Some of these engines ended up in Modified Eliminator dragsters too.
