    The Gen 1 was the original Holden V8, Gen 2 the EFI 5 lt which was stroked to 5.7 for the HSV like Stocky says and then the Gen 3 5.7lt and now the Gen 4 6lt. Although nobody really called them generation engines until the Gen 3.

    What's all this gen crap? There wasn't ever a gen 1 or 2 here. And holden's 5.0 sure as hell has never been called a gen anything. This whole gen thing started with the original LS1. Its just a bit of seppo bullsh*t!

    And while I'm at it, what's this crap with calling dunnydoors "E" series? Trying to keep up with the Krauts now are we?

    The gen 3 started with the LS1 because it is the 3rd generation Holden V8 to be fitted in Commodores. The 1st two were gen 1 and 2 although they were never referred to as that.

    er no. LS1 is a Chev motor not a Holden motor. 5.0 V8 was a Holden motor. not a Chev motor. And it isn't a gen anything. No offence, you're talking sh8t. The gen 2 was an AMC motor. Seppos at it again.

    Can you not read.....V8 fitted to a Commodore. 308 Gen 1, 5lt EFI Gen 2, 5.7lt Gen 3, 6lt Gen 4. This is where the generation reference came from. I never said they were all called that.

    I'm pretty sure everyone's aware that the LS1 is a Chevrolet engine. I think he's referring to the generations of V8 motors used in Holdens.

    Can you not read? Gen 2 is not a Holden motor. How can they be gen 1 and 2 if the gen 2 for example is in the Suburban? Holden's motors are only gen 1 & 2 in your mind and in this thread.

    The motor isn't out of a VS any way. Its the symbol on the cover which gives that away!

    Actually if could be from a VS GTS or a GTS-R or a VR Senator or VR GTS...

    The moral of the story being...

    The guy should of said:

    It has a factory v8 STROKER 5.7 Engine...

    Instead of all this "gen2" crap... you google gen2 stroker even and you won't find any info on it...

    Just a question though.... if its a holden HSV strocker its not a chevy right?!? THe GENIII is the first chev engine holden used..

    So either way, that guys talkin abit of ****...right?

    Well the stroker is a 304, just... stroked. So it's a Holden motor.

    Holden has used 307, 327 and the 350 before but LS1 is the first in Commodores I believe, I could be wrong though.

    i think they mean injected motors with the 1 2 and 3rd generation motors... that would make sense because there has only been 3 injected v8's in the commos
    Going where no late model stato/caprice has gone before.... GAME ON!!

    gen 1 was the cast head 350 used in 1990's chevrolet
    gen2 & 2.5 was the alloy head engine commonly referred to as the LT1 in 1996 onwards chev.
    Holden has never used any of these engines
