Last of the 9/2E blocks listed and cease production................... Total amount of 250 9/2E blocks required.

150 9/2E engines listed and cease production................... Total amount of 250 9/2E engines required (in theory).  But only 151 cars give or take were built

Cheers

Fixed it for you Ant.

In July 1973 GMH produced a total of 100 1973 Bathurst homologation specials, then produced a list of 150 engine numbers, 100 + 150 = 250

Counting from JP363 they produced a total of 250 homologated dual cast blocks

The minimum number required to homologate any component in 1973 was 250

If you have any doubts

 

RING OR WRITE TO C.A.M.S.

 

I DARE YOU..........

Give it up Bruce. NOT ALL 150 list engines have two date codes - 100% proven and known fact. You know it, just accept it.

 

On a similar matter, could you please point us all to the 250 cars with the 2.32:1 1st gear M21? and the other 250 with the normal M21 with 1.38:1 3rd gear? Or the 250 with the 3.90:1 rear axle? Or those with the 2.78:1 rear axle?

In 1974 GMH produced a total of 263 L34 toranas with the first 13 going to the race teams. They then built a further 250, the minimum required under Group C rules.

If you have any doubts

What about the cars that aren't on the Service/Warranty report? There are a number of these including L34 and XU1, even A9X.

In 1973, 1974 & 1977 under the Group C rules they only needed a minimum of 250 cars.........

No, no doubts at all about that. The minimum required number to be made and/or sold 500

8/8e and 9/2e were separate homologations requiring 250 cars for each. You are the one who has been beating his chest about having to have the min req number of cars for each and every single amendment.and now you want to bend the rules and lump 2 amendments into 1.

 

Make up your mind which is correct.

... and there were only 150 of these engines officially acknowledged by GMH. Some but not all (as suggested by three members) had number 3 on each side. Others had 6, 5 & 2 etc. Some but not all (as suggested by three members) had a second cast build date on the manifold side. Others did not. There it is.

Keith, well said

^^^oh,  and that too.

[FLY_AGAIN_XU-1]

To complete a homologation required 500, to allow the homologation to take place required 250, then cease production.

If you think its fine for some 1973 Bathurst homologation specials from JP363 to have a special dual cast block and others to have a HQ block, KEEP DREAMING.......

Interesting going to the GTR & XU1 Nats yesterday. You, Anthony and Rob seem to be the only three people in the Torana community that believe this bullshit about dual cast blocks and the #3 etc etc etc.

 

It's little wonder that some Torana owners are deserting this Forum and saying they will probably never bother to come back.

 

They say desperate people do desperate things and you and your friends behaviour on this forum has sometimes displayed such desperation. 

 

I do hope the VIC Police vehicle fraud squad are keeping an eye on these engine threads.

The only one protecting the truth from being known is you my little young friend, not to bad for someone so young that's never owned a XU-1 or even seen a 1973 Bathurst dual cast block...........

 

You just keep going ahead telling the punters its ok to have a HQ block in your 1973 Bathurst homologation special, without ever owning one let alone ever seeing a genuine block.

 

To all the punters who want to keep paying 8K 12.5K & 15K for fake blocks, you go right ahead...............
