L98

The L98 is a slightly modified version of the L76. Since Holden did not use the displacement on demand technology of the L76, some redundant hardware was removed to form the L98. Power increased to 362 bhp (270 kW)@5700rpm and 391 lb·ft (530 N·m)@4400rpm.



As of February 2009 Holden have used AFM in the L76 block which has been available in all automatic V8s
Applications:
* 2006 (MY06) Holden VZ SS Thunder Ute
* 2006-2007 Holden VE Commodore
* 2006-2007 Holden WM Statesman / Holden WM Caprice

362 bhp due to a very tame camshaft. With a mild cam upgrade this engine can easily push 475hp. Basically the same package as described here: http://www.gmhightechperformance.com...ads/index.html


BTW; L98 crate engine is complete from intake to oil pan minus alternator and power steering pump. The water pump is included and is the C6 Corvette model. Water pump and dampener are the same offset as the C5/C6 Corvette. Oil Pan is a rear sump 8 quart used in the Pontiac G8 and Holden Commodore. This engine is equiped with an automatic flexplate.

Frank just put an L76 in Wes's Formula, and it is pushing 425 at the wheels with just a custom ground cam from Prodigy. That's probably close to 500 at the crank, and I know he got a kick ass deal on it.
