Whattza Holden?.

Thu May 7 03:49:06 GMT 1998

Hi All,

The '72 onwards (HQ series) had either 253/308 (local engines) or 350 in 
the GTS/Monaro (pronounced Mon-ar-o). HJ ('74 onwards) had the local 308.

The HK ('67-68) had the 307 (called the 5 litre) or 327 (in the GTS), the 
HT(approx 69-70) got the 350 (GTS) but used the local V8 for the lower 
models. HG had the 350 as well as the local motors.

I could be a little wrong with years as its been literally years since I 
craved for a HK GTS.

BTW The 253/308 was originally designed to accomodate a capacity of around 
5.5 litres. It took 'em 25 years to do it with the Commodore Senator/GTS - 
5.7 Litre. Unfortunately, since the demise of the Group A Touring Car 
Formula, GMH didn't have to homologate the trick gear so we lost stuff like 
the twin staggered throttle body intakes which would have made the 5.7 
really get up and go. People pay $2-3000 for these intakes these days.

Cheers,

Peter

Not sure of the new stuff, but a '72 premier, and  Monaro had basically
a chevy 265cu in small block. I have had the experience of working on
both in a past life, and if it wasn't in a Holden car, I'd have sworn it
was a '55 chevy.
