G'day mate what you should have is a 253. One of the other guys will be able to tell you for sure but I think your engine prefix should be a q?

Hi xbro87.
The HR prefix is for the 253 V8 used in LH/LX Toranas. The number places it around mid '75. It can't be the original motor for an HJ.
Your HJ GTS has a build date of 7/76 ?? Is that the date on the Compliance plate. Does it have ADR27A on |
If at first you don't succeed, just call it Version 1.0 |

Post the VIN number (off the skinny plate) and I'll try to check it out for you. As Terry says it's not the right engine number, but I'll see if I can get the original number for you. Takes a while though, and not always recorded. |

Check the block casting date mark just below the head above the oil pump.
The first no is the day. The letter refers to the month ie A = Jan, B = Feb etc. The last character refers to the year.

Should hear within a week. Check the numbers/letters carefully too. You have at least one incorrect - should be 8Q69 not 8069 |
