Olds V8 in a Starlet? Now I've seen everything

[@joe125ful]

No you not:)

[@alexjenner1108]

From my understanding it was an alloy block Oldsmobile V8, possibly the same as some Buick models and also the Rover 3.5 L V8 engine. In circuit racing trim, the car weighed under 700kg.

Trevor crowe was the dam man! total legend and fantastic driver from New Zealand

Saw the Starlet racing at Ruapuna many times back in the 80s and thrashing the big 5 litre V8s.
