    It really should have a HDT Build plate. If its not there, and never was, its not a VK SS

    Holden stopped building the "SS" model during the VH series. Nut is correct that the only SS's you will find in the VK model were via HDT and thus should have a build tag amongst other bits and pieces depending on the exact model.

    The "SS" model from holden was resurrected during the VN series with the introduction of the EFI V8.
