So yours is about 12,000 engines into the sequence. Picked up a 308 this week.

Can anyone tell me what it's Because of its luxury positioning, the Brougham was only available with an automatic transmission, first a two-speed, then a three-speed after the HG's launch. In 1972 Repco had also developed a Formula 5000 engine using Holden 308 castings. You could get a 308 in WB commercials, just had to be a special customer. _______________________________________________________. Today I was at a mates. In this special feature, we’ll examine how we came to have a unique, Aussie-designed V8 in the first place, and Bob Kotmel will give us the skinny on his favourite street-level combination, and we’ll look at some of the toughest Holden-based street machines and racers that are still out there flying the flag for the engine once derided as the ‘plastic’ V8. GMH concluded a new V8 for mid-1969 was a must! [7] It utilised a 250 cid (4,093 cc) Chevrolet inline-six or, as an option, Chevrolet's 307 cu in (5,025 cc) small block V8. Not really, GMH never threw anything away so if it was around it would have gotten used.
US engines were also flown in to study current practice, and by November 1965 castings from Saginaw and machining by Chevrolet was organised. 253 and 308 started in June 1969, engines probably a few months earlier.
Once his expertise was known, he was made an engine project engineer.
Sure, no problem.
[8] Either engine version came equipped with the two-speed "Powerglide" automatic transmission. im interested in a single outlet waterpump for my L34, what sort of $ are you asking, do they need rebuild. I do remember discussing this with a certain Monaro guru, and from what I remember the changeover wasn't instant. GMH forecast that by 1970 35 per cent of Holdens sold would be V8s, rising to 50 per cent by 1975, which gave Holden engineers Fred James and Ed Silins plenty of justification to come up with their own design.
Blowin' Gaskets: A very special Holden V8. My guess though is it was an early casting with a problem, and later got fixed and thrown back onto the engine production process. Over the next 30 years, more than 541,000 V8s ran down the transfer line at Fishermens Bend until 28 June 1999, when it was replaced with the LS1. Most likely HT Brougham but by October/November 1969 308 was available across the HT range. One advantage of the motor is that it was the subject of much development.
Yes, an early HT Brougham engine. Silins raised a work order on 1 April 1965 to make a mock-up in wood based on his sketches.
The L34 was a Repco-developed 308 with 9.8:1 compression ratio, free-flow exhaust, modified heads and twin-point distributor. In race form, with a cam and carb change on top, L34s were said to be good for 350hp or so. A design weight of 525lb (238kg) was set, with the 308 expected to produce net figures of 263lb-ft@2400rpm and 161bhp@4000rpm. It was based on the mainstream Holden Premier of the same years, but with a lengthened rear body. Probably because 308's were low volume until they became available outside Brougham. James and Silins were fortunate that the V8 transfer line had already been ordered and it was too late to change, so in 1969 the first Holden V8s finally emerged, powering the new HT.
The first V8s were known as the red series and remained relatively unchanged until the 308 L34-option engine was released on the LH SL/R Torana in July 1974. All I can find in my info at home is that 253 prefix was QS (Low Comp) and QR (High Comp) and 308 was QT prefix. Engineering was told to make the Chevrolet 307/327 small-block fit the HK instead. So yours is about 12,000 engines into the sequence. Maybe new moulds were introduced and HP continued alongside 308 for a time period? This number contains vital information about the car, such as its manufacturer, year of production, the plant it was produced in, type of engine, model and more. Silins investigated the Chevrolet 283ci, Olds 330ci and Buick 300ci V8s in 1964 and believed he could take the best practice from each and build a lighter engine. The HK series Brougham was launched in July 1968 along with the new Monaro coupés, six months after the HK Series Holden Belmont/Kingswood/Premier models. There are thousands of Holden-powered cars in drag racing, burnout and circuit competition, and countless more doing duty as street cars.
