Contact VIC Roads on Monday, check before you start!
If the Holden came with a 253 from the factory (as they did) it shouldnt be an issue.
I'd let ya put in a 454 but I am not VICROADS !!

It will bolt straight in on the same mounts. Make sure you get the 10-bolt diff and tailshaft out of the donor as well, although the existing tailshaft and banjo will fit. If they are both HZ or HX, the 253 engine wiring harness will plug in where the 6cy |

There is no problem putting a 253 into an HZ as they came from the factory like that. You won't have a problem with Vic Roads. I did the same to my J and had it registered without any problems.

I normally lift them out using diagonally opposite head accessory bolt holes (if they are there - HT/G heads are missing some). The threads are for power steering, air etc and take 9/16"AF bolts. If you are leaving the exhaust manifolds on, you can use th |

There is no need to. A 6cyl ute's springs will be fine with a 253. It's not like a HQ ute is ever going to handle that well that an extra 30kg or so over the front 'axle' will make any difference. It may even have the opposite effect, as Harry firth found |
