Definitely need pics

 

[ari666]

legally speaking you can have a 327 in that... and which cop on the planet can tell a 327 from a 350

*big grin* MUST NEEDS PICS!!!

 

[Hangman]

Why only a 327? The HG Monaro came out with the 350.

Plus it's a bonus having the original 308 still in it. Broughams are pretty thin on the ground these days...

 

[MR.HG]

^^ yea original 308 stroked will do fine, pics coming later tonight...doing sum rust repairs and just finished wire brushing the floor pan back to bare metal zzzz

 

[ari666]

hardly original if your gonna stroke it, but yeah i understand.

plus, thought HG only had 327? HQ had 350? (genuine question, i dont know)

 

[MR.HG]

HG were 253 V8 optional on all models, 308 V8 optional on all models, 350 V8 standard on Monaro GTS '350' and im pretty sure they were the first trimatic v8 combination. HK had the 327 and 307,the HT had the 308,307,350 and by original motor i meant numbers matching

 

[Hangman]

Don't worry bout Ari, from what I've read, he doesn't get the concept of people wanting a matching numbers engine in their car if it's not the biggest factory option or if it's modified.

Now where's these pics? Always wanted a brougham.

Don't worry bout Ari,

also: MUST NEEDS PICS.
