Do we call this an Austalian car?
Engine swaps, they can dramatically affect the performance of a car, hopefully for the better. That was the idea for dropping a Ferrari V12 into a Holden LC GTR Torana. It’s kind of like fitting an NFL lineman in a Mazda Miata, basically an impossible task. However, Castlemaine Rod Shop was determined to make it work and they found a way to make it fit, resulting in something pretty amazing.

They call this car The Real Deal. We can guess what that’s about but we’d probably be wrong because it’s likely an Aussie joke. Remember, these people drink from a shoe after they win a race, because that’s totally normal.
In all seriousness, this is a huge upgrade for the Holden. The Tipo F133 H V12 engine taken from a Ferrari 612 Scaglietti coupe is about four times more powerful than the factory straight-six. We can only imagine how hard this thing will hoon when they’re done building and tuning it.
