T stands for HT ie model and R stands for right hand drive...
253 and 308 were both options on the HT monaro.... best way to tell might be diff ratio... 3.08 for 253 or 3.36 for 308...

HT 837 was available with 253, 308 or 307.
Driveline combos will be:
Early: 253 4spd or 307 powerglide.
Late:253 or 308, auto or manual.
307/308 will have 10/12 bolt hump.
4spd or Powerglide will have the firewall "centre" speedo cable hole.

Also check if the diff is Banjo or Salisbury 10 bolt (with hump on front of tank). If Banjo then 253 otherwise 308 (late HT) or 307 (early HT). My HT was an early built monaro, with 307, powerglide and 10 Bolt 3.36 diff.

Matching numbers is technically a Ford thing, where the chasis numbre and engine number are the same, so if they are boith the same it said to be matching numbers". This term, by rights, should not be used on Holdens, however when it is it means that the

Date codes are a good place to start to tell if it could have been a 253 or a 307 in an early car. You can find date codes on many items if they are original. Also HTs had painted on date codes on the bottom of steering colums and other parts. 308s where |
