Someone told me recently that these exist. I don't believe it until I see evidence of it. Its not on any parts catalogues nor is there a package code for it. Anyone seen one?

I don't think GMH made any Chev bolt pattern 4.2 V8s, did they ?

Could be a prototype, I did see a UC Torana with a 202/TH350 fitted. It was GMH mule on an around Australia test. To make it fit the bell-housing was cut & shut with a Trimatic one.

If at first you don't succeed, just call it Version 1.0

Yes for Eaton box compatibility.

I asked why? If a WB cab-chassis with a 4.2 they used a Trimatic, and that’s fair heavier work. But supposedly this VC with L36 and M38 on the body tag exists. There is nothing official in the parts catalogue and no package code for it though. My first thought was a stamping error but supposedly the car had paperwork. I also wondered if it might have been a HDT thing like for a Group3, but that is VH.
