250 CU inch / 4.1L : not in AU?

Best thing you could do is to change the final drive ratio to 3.54:1 from 110's

The engineless Holdens we sent to South Africa at one time had no mention anywhere of "Holden" or "Australia", simply branded "A Product of General Motors". Most of the HQ Statesman models exported were also branded this way also with no mention of Holden or Australia and badged as a "Chevrolet 350"

Don't forget the ones that went to Mazda in Japan either. Decked out inside with paisley interior, draw curtains and just really tasteless everything else and flogged off as a limosine...
(The late) Paul Terrys collection that used to be at the Esplanade Hotel in Albany over here included a couple of them.
Not sure where they ended up as his wife sold off the collection after his death.


Sent from my backyard TeePee using smoke signals.

They were Holden Premier sedans built to Mazda's requirement without engines. Mazda fitted them with rotary engines in Japan. I think senior managements in both companies must have had brain lapses.
