Can't help with the early stuff, but yes, the NZ VK was available with the starfire.
The other NZ specialties that were available:
VL - 2L straight 6 (RB20) version of our 3L
VN - 2L straight 4 - basically a JE Camira 2L turned around.

Only one FJ wagon (a prototype) was made by GM-H. There were others, custom made by a company in Melbourne, by the name of Cordell.
The Canadian Grey engine block, is probably the oldest Holden myth there is. Yes, early blocks had thicker wal |
