I'm being pedantic here, but the VR GTS and later HSV cars that used the Harrop-developed 5.7 litre stroker were actually 347 cubes - the 355 stroker was developed by COME Racing back in the mid 1990's as I recall as a crank, rods and pistons only kit (or they build one for you). The 355 was 5.9 or 6.0 litres I think.

And yeah, the big yellow taxi had the option of blueprinting by HRT and pushed power output to 235kw (apparently).
