Seller on Ebay with a HR ute claiming to be a X2 but has a 179.
Can anyone confirm that X2s only had the 186?

It cannot be the original engine... HRs had only 186s & 161s fitted.

All performance HRs had motors with the prefix 186Kxxxxxx

the 179 might have replaced a 186K but without the books you wont know whether its the real deal.

Fair call if its wrong and the advertising is misleading as a result we wreck. Might save some poor sucker getting had. GT knows his stuff on HR Holdens so his comments have a firm basis.

Anyway enough from me!
