Well this is just about porn for me.
1960's, S series Kenworth's powered by 8V71 Detroit 2 Strokes being delivered from Kenworth In Doncaster to Ansett through Melbourne all surrounded by early Holden's and alike. Overload on the senses with sight & noise!
Top stuff. :thumbsup:

Mmmm.... 8v71. One of the biggest positive displacement blowers GM ever built. Friggin monsters, twice the size of your garden variety 6-71.

Cheers,

Not quite Harv, 149 series engine was bigger. There was also an old 110 series with radial blower/s too.
The blowers didn't do much for HP gains unless they had stepped up blower drive ratios fitted. Most later turbocharged engines had blower bypass valves that operated when the boost come on song. The turbo's made all the oomf.
Pic below is a 8V92TA I built. She made 735hp and spun to 2300rpm, all from a 12 litre engine!
A very sweet noise indeed!

These pictures show cars parked on the Leagues Club oval, on the corner of what was then known as Holden Street and Georgiana Terrace, at Gosford, probably around 1969 or so. That is Gosford Primary School in the background, where I was a schoolboy from 1963 to 1969. I think the cars were parked by patrons of the Central Coast Leagues Club, across the road, before the club carpark was extended. I remember when they used to be parked there on weekends. Holden Street was changed to Dane Drive in the 1970's. My dad was a regular drinker at the Leagues Club back then.

Looks like the corner of York and King Streets, Sydney, looking south towards Town Hall and the Queen Victoria Building.
