WB V8 Engine Prefix

[ozbox]

For stato, not ute????????

no..for statesman it would be 11WT from deville or 12WT from caprice...and either of those engine numbers could have trimatic or t400 or t350 ...his question was for ute/van/tonner so the correct prefix would be WT..there is proof that wb commercials did come with 308 but very rare.

dont even bother trying to find one..just go vt from commodore or the stato numbers..most vt prefix motors are trimatic pattern..

I know youre based in NSW Oz but anyone know how that would sit with Vic Roads fitting a commodore motor to the ute? Im assuming they had the same pollution setup between the 2 models and both were blue motors?

best ask vicroads that question...in nsw its ok..

Same engine. Just remember manual and auto engins have different levels of pollution equipment but apart from that a Commodore, Calais or Statesman engine can be used in a WB ute without any hassles.

Thanks for that HK, I'm planning on running TH700 if I can keep the column shift. I Havnt looked into that yet but think I could work it out. VS ute had it.

True I suppose, WR for 253 and WT for 308. Just got to find one in the flesh. Might be the rarest Holden of the lot.

ive seen 2 L31 tagged tonners in the flesh but thats all..

I've seen an L31 WB tonner but not ute. Dr Terry saw a ute new. Not sure if the HDT Magnum ute was a factory L31 or not. Auto would be M38 or M40 depending on build timeframe.
