thats a 186, or 3.0ltr.
I think the LC Torana's got them and the LJ got the 202 or 3.3ltr engine. Could be wrong though.

No Idea WTF that engine is in though. Doesn't look a thing like a torrie engine bay.


Hahaha, Alex. About $$$$$$$$$$$ more R&D in the granpa Skyline there though. F*cking nice motor though, what kind of power did they achieve?
Is it an L26 or something like that??

Holden just went," hmmm we need a race motor. Here's the daily shitta, just whack some big f*ck off carbies and a cam in it. She'll be apples."

I am quite literally falling asleep at my desk

[RX25SE]

Man you guys are speaking my language!!

oh spaff

I had no idea how good those things sounded! (Tripple big assed carby ??)

That engine bay pic is from this,

a prototype called the GTR-X, built by Holden in 1970 with Torana LC GTR XU-1 running gear. Never built, but got as far a producing sales brochures etc.

Linky = 404, Richo.

XU1 = 3.3ltr inline 6, tripple SU carbies. (or webbers in race spec I think).

The put out around 175 - 200hp way back in 1971. So whats that equate to??
135 - 150kw??

PBOaS, your pretty much spoton. LC XU-1 (1970-71) ran a 186ci (3.0lit) red motor with triple 150cd stromberg carbies and the LJ XU-1 (1972-73) ran a 202ci (3.3lit) red motor with triple 175cd strombergs.
Race cars for 1973 used up to triple 58mm webbers with one choke in each carbie blocked off.
Yes, a triple carby inline six sounds hawt!

BTW the red V8 LJ doing the burnout has been owned by the same bloke for over 25 years and he fitted the 308 in the late 80s.

The GTR-X prototype is still in existence. From memory reading historical books, it belongs to some guy in SA... I'll always have a softspot for the redsix in my heart. Watching dad smoking third on the spot in his EH powered by a hot 202 with triple webers was a sight to behold... I <3 carbies

[RX25SE]

I hear you brother. Wouldn't mind a EH S4 in the shed. The GTR-X was at the Birdwood motor museum in SA but I believe it is now at Holden in Vic and has been restored. I have heard that the other one may be in private hands but who really knows? Cheers J

Never used it mate, but it looks similar to what O'Briens e.t.c. use for their glass repairs.

Give it a go! For only 30 odd bucks what have you got to lose apart from a bit of glue in an already busted part of your windscreen?
