    308 motor

    Hilly
    have a look at the forum thread, "In need of some opinions on this van" on page 4, if you can't find it I will try and write something in it to bring it to New Posts....there is a conversation about the 308 motor we have and the engine numbers are there, and there is a reply about what date this motor is and what it came out of.. and I think it could have been a HX....anyway read it and see what you think.....

    yeah i just had a read. i thought the statesman had a the 11qt. i think ill stick to the few weeks principle. it will make things harder to find but there you go. Seems to be the same for the old mans monaro and bros van when i had a look.

    So if anyone has a 308 like im looking for let me know. (shameless plug)

    No, afaik VR is a WB commercial engine number or a Commodore QRXXXXXX or ZRXXXXXXXX would be more appropriate, although, if you don't have the original build sheet or Dealer Delivery paperwork to show the original engune number for the car you can only ever get a "date appropriate" engine. This means an engine built in the correct time frame for your car, and unless you have the original engine and provinance, any other engine is as good as another
