Just wondering if the engine and head internals on the Holden red 202's
are all the same. Maybe some have found a certain year for the red 202 better than other years or were they all the same.

Depends. Neoprene can leak, but if you use a good quality seal and oil it properly when you install it then they are good and consume less horsepower. As they are the same seal as a SBC with 2-piece rear main you can buy good quality seals. However, in th |

Early red has 202 on the side and later red has 3.3 on the side. Not accounting for any seal setups. I know a stock 3.3 bottom end can definitely handle 275hp, so I suppose the 202 block is the same. |

To tell the truth I don't know if the first of the reds was made in Canada but Warren or Dr Terry will know for sure - I doubt it though. 149 to 161 is an 1/8" overbore. 161 to 173 is another 1/8" overbore. 173 to 179 is 1/16". That's a 5/16" overbore for |
