Yes here! Note that there is only one correct engine for the car and that info can only be found in sales documents or old rego paperwork. |

It is a Dandenong assembly plant 307, it is a fair way into the sequence so it'll be late HK or possibly HT from a car assembled at Dandenong. Most of the 05 or 07 dated Pagewood 307's I have are late HK or HT. I'll see if I can find out a closer approx. |

Nothing in HK. For HK Belmont, Kingswood, Monaro, GTS, Premier and Brougham all used the same engine if V8 optioned. And same engine regardless of auto or manual except for the slight differences associated with manual vs auto.
HT is slightly different in that Brougham were all 308 not 307, and there were no manual 307's (not officially anyway). |
