The "It's a long shot but does anyone have my original motor" thread

Probably been asked before but how do you find out your engine mine is a 10/ 77 hz

In NSW you can get some history from the rego authorities,old rego papers or old owners perhaps if you can trace them. Dealer records too I guess if your lucky enough to find them still in business.

What a top thread!!
One for Byron first, are there records for HQ engine numbers? if so my PSN is L286071
The ute that you mentioned a while back would probably have been close, however I have hunted down the guy I bought it from back in the 90's, he reckons he bought it with the six in it. He's trying to find details of the guy he bought it from, apparently from Bargo or there abouts. So if anyone remembers selling a late 74 HQ in yellow with side windows and 2 sunroofs back in the early 90's please let me know!

There is not much in Bargo, so a talk with some locals might uncover some details...

Not wrong there Robbo, some of my family members and not much more!

Some one with access to Holden microfiche will have it.. My guess is somewhere around QT90xxxx and its probably the original one... 25 Years off the road gives it a good chance of still being there

Damn straight!! That's why I mentioned it, I figured if anyone on here was from dems parts, they'd probly know all about it!

I've got a good mate who's brother lived down there for years, then at Hilltop. I'll chase up his details, he might know the right people to talk to!
