Holdens a little info

[Wayne Blair]

A little info about some engines used in Holdens:

V8 used in production
CHEV: 307 327 350

Aussie V8's
(have always been faster and stronger than chevs and fords of same design
and capacity - production volume has been only impediment to aftermarket
and further development. [Repco Brabham was a 5L GP engine was an offshoot
of the Aussie v8 - maybe?]. That should but the possum in the kitchen ;^) )

253 small bore 308	
308 4 inch bore
304 destroked to 4999cc under 5L for racing homolagation and complete head
redesign to make use of EFI
