    v is prefix for commodore sean..its a blue motor from a vc or vh as i can just see the middle bolts of the manifold in the carby pic so therefore you will have to change your heads to red pollution to accept a 2 barrel manifold as all blue 253s ran 4 barrels..carby looks to be hx hz variety as i can just make out a front adjusting screw..

    Thanks Greg.
    Thought it was probably Commodore but the red motor paint with a bit of yellow over it threw me a bit... Which is the better engine, red heads and 2 barrel or leave it as is?

    sean just verify with me that the middle bolt holes [on each side of the carby] are offset and there is 2 about 1 inch apart..the picisnt that good but thats what it looks like to me...blue 253 with quaddy is good...

    I reckon it would be better to stick with the quad and find the right air cleaner.
