You have owned a V8 Torana??? Man, You are are a legend like Brocky was. I hope you still got it because the damned things are fetching over 20k's on Ebay in pieces these days.
Anyways to do the trip to Kunnus i would not do it in anything smaller.
You loose one cylinder you still got more than twice the number your "sirloin" has with only marginal more fuel consumption.
You want to battle the bush, be a man and drive a V8 like real man do!
