australian v6

Hi guys new to the forum.
Just in the build of my gemini drag car. Im building a 3.8 v6 ecotech buick engine out of our holden commodore, is this the same engine you guys use in the states. Reason being is im told they have a weak crank. Im looking to push around 800hp through the car.
Is there a crank that will fit this engine that can take the abuse.

Cheers any help is appreciated

Post some pics of the engine.

I'm interested in pics also but from what little I know about those engines they seem to be similar to the Series II 3800 used in the front wheel drive cars. It's a later engine that what was used in the 1986-87 Turbo cars.

The camaros and firebirds had a RWD form of the 3.8 and im pretty sure the commodore version is very similar to that.
