304 is injected from VN to VT S2

308 is carby old carby

actually hsv1992 5.7 gen 3 actually have a displacement of 346ci 253 first came out in HJ/Q and were refined in the commodores and were called 'blue' 253 because they have the pollution stuff on them pcv valve etc. I dont think any commodore was a stroker in stock form a 355 can be either a 304 or an early 308 with a stroker kit. and the 4.2 is a 253

The 253 was first released with the HT.
The GENIII is a 346ci (5.7lt) engine
The VR-->VT 215i 350ci HSV range were a standard 304ci 5.0lt that used a harrop crank to stretch them out.
