HX XX7 Find

[Absinth]

I find it extremely hard to believe that a HX Holden is legally registered with a 427 in Queensland. Did you check what is written on the mod plate as to what mods have been approved?

Doesn't matter if you intend returning it to stock running gear but if you intended leaving the current engine in it I would be making a phone call to Qld Transport.

427 ci is within the legally allowed capacity for a full chassis vehicle of this wheelbase in Qld. (up to 460 ci allowed when I was checking for my vehicle rebuild)

things must have changed in Qld then, back in 98 I wanted to put a 350 in my HJ ute and was told no. You were only allowed to upgrade to an engine that was a factory option for that model so 308 was as big as was allowed in a HJ or I could buy a HQ and fit a 350 in that.
Wasn't even allowed to fit a 253 in a 4wd Hilux when people were fitting 308's in them in NSW legally.

Things may have changed Absinth. My advice is less than five years old.
