Hot grey 2.0

side of the block between the dizzy and the fuel pump i think ? Should be a letter followed by numbers - like D123 which would be April 12, 1963

Casting says D6 5, any ideas?

That might be one for the trainspotters - would imagine its April 6, 1955 but if its a J style block that would make no sense, and I wouldn't imagine grey motors were still being produced in 1965 ?????

I whipped the rocker cover off, and it has the later tall rocker hold down gear

I suppose the only real option to work it all out, is to take the sump off and look at the main cap bolts

Hello, trainspotter here . . .

Holden kept making grey motors for industrial applications for quite a while after the introduction of the red motor. I reckon this engine is a 1965 build. By the way, take a look at the distributor rotor. Some industrial grey motors had a centrifugal cutout rotor that shorted the high-tension to ground when the engine speed got too high.

Other things to look for: the distributor should be a BR54, with no grease cup, and maybe the carburettor will be stamped 23-3001 (or similar) at the front of the air horn, on top of the float chamber.

PS - Alan Little in WA (if I remember right) is the industrial grey motor guru.

Alan lives not that far from me - his shed is something else .........

In other news, I got the pink Ute running again yesterday, the fibre timing gear had broken in the centre and spun, putting it out of timing
