I do agree tho, the clevo was the pick of the bunch!
I had a 351 Cleveland in standard Tune & afterwards with some Mods & can tell you it Killed the odd Charger that was about at the time & yes we did Race often back then :P

A Mate of Mine used to Drive his Dads late Model Valiant (last series) with a 265 Hemi six & again the Clevo would leave him & all other local sixes for dead.

Though I do remember sitting on 200 k's in his Dad's Valiant while listening to a whoosh sound sort of like a vacume cleaner coming from exhaust.

The 308 Heavily worked HQ Monaro I had before the GXL would also kill the Charger boys. (even if they had Mods like triple Carbs & high lift Cam)

Yes the special Race Models were very quick but then you would need to compare them with a GTHO phase 3 to be fair & not your standard family hack.

As for these days I agree the Ford Turbo 6 would be the best by a small margin over the current holden V8.
