I caused some confusion here - that particular motor is a 308 in my HZ.

Cast date on the engine looks like D300 which is a HG block.

Valley and carb look like blue/black items. Gearbox side plate and linkages could be Commodore as well?

Yes it is D300. I picked up this HZ windowless a couple months back, some body and mechanical work has been done on it, but the owner went 'bust' and I picked it up from a mate of his... all a bit of a mystery on what was done.
Thanks.

so the prefix for the engine number is 308h ????

[Blocker]

Yes the prefix of this is 308H.
As I understand that is HG - (thanks HK1837 & Ozbox).

So I'm looking at selling this 308, just need to find out what trans and diff I have to go with it.

Advertise it on Ebay. Someone out there with a HG or Chev SS will pay decent $ for it.
