Yep. You never knew what was under someones bonnet with a HQ. HJ introduced 4.2 and 5.0 again after the plain V8 on HQ. Strange really why Holden didn't continue engine capacity badges on HQ after the really cool HK/T/G V8 crossed flag badges with the small 5 (litre), 327, 253, 308 and 350. I know they wanted to get away from the Chev badge, and the plain V8 is sort of cool in a mysterious way, but since they went to the trouble of doing a 202 badge, (and went mad with all sorts of capacity badges for Toranas at the same time), you'd think a 253 and 308 badge wouldn't have been an issue.
