Looks a fairly tidy vehicle Shane, and judging by that blue plate on the engine bay side of the bulkhead you could assume that its been engineered with the Holden engine. The HP are a fairly old donk, first of the 179 ci engines, so pre October 1964, but they are a good donk. Was the wagon originally a six or a four cylinder, it looks it may have a mod done to the radiator support panel?
Following with interest.
Cheers, Mick.
Thanks for the replies.
John, both Temp and fuel gauges are working as they should. I added 25 ltrs to a drained fuel tank, and needles sit where I think it should, with the 70lt ? Rear mounted tank. Temp gauge rises to half way, as engine warms up. Only thing not working is Holden engined, oil temp gauge. wonder if this is causing buzzing,?
Mick. looking at bulkhead, I think 6 cylinder. But gearbox mount appear moved back on a plate mounted either side of chassis. No mod on Rad support panel. Switch operated fan attached to front of radiator.
Yes Qld engineers plate. Does this help registering in NSW, or best to removed ?
Am going to investigate buzzing. watch this space........

Shane, so does it have a six cylinder bulkhead then?
A pic of the interior side of the bulkhead behind the gear stick will tell.
It should have a straight gearstick, but late series 3 four cylinders had a straight stick anyway.
I wonder if it just needed engineering for the engine change from a Land Rover six to a Holden six the.
Cheers, Mick.
