So happy to see that it’s NOT another ridiculous LS conversion! Very nice.

That' very appropriate you chose a 253 as Holden started development of the V8's in 1964.

Sweet little 253 v8 in a cool old EH Ute sweet ride

I'm still shocked how good it sounds. I always thought they were a thong slapper

@@ProShop1 Never underestimate a good 253. I had a worked one in a L32 SLR back in the 90's. They love a bit of compression, remember they are basically a 308 with smaller pistons and fairly low compression, get that compression up, stick on a decent exhaust and carb , tickle the ports and a small bump stick and they really get up and go. I got into a few arguments with my SLR and had to lift the bonnet a few times to prove it was a 253. I'm going to put a stroked 253 in my 65 HD ute, stroked out to 5 litres...!!!

Love the way she sits! Spread eagle.

What a cool car , great restoration

Nice ute, good job you two, sounds nice goes well and love the patina, good to see another old school Aussie ute back on the road.

You guys looked like a couple of bandits with your sunnies and beanies. Great job on a cool classic.

Thanks Anthony. I thought that too when I was editing the video

She’s a bit of a squealer 😂 If the missus is cracking those jokes you know you’re in the right place 😂 Love the wood grain crash pad too. Don’t believe I’ve seen that in a EH/J before 👌

😂Cheers Pat. The owner had the idea of the wood interior. I wasn't quite sure of it until it was in. It suits it perfectly.

Sweet EH Ute, love the dash trim look, suits and old school IMHO, and first I've seen like that 😊 nice little daily, I'd buy it 😊 Cheers 🍻🍻🇦🇺🤝🇦🇺🦘🦘🏔🏔🌧🌧

Hey Shannon. Good to hear from you. Thanks so much🙏

Geez you do some nice work pete, been looking forward to this one.

Watching your video brings back many memories. Back in the day, I had an EH Premier hydramatic and I new a man that had an EH that was raced as a hill climber. Triple SU carbs. What a beast it was.

Gotta love that 253 and sounds great too. You must be rapt.

Cracken Video. Shame about the burnout though.

I had mint 77 HX holden premier with a gem 💎 engine 253 v8 auto I reckon they sound better than the 308 and rev harder I destroyed that car in a cop chase back when I turned 23 years old in Evans head nsw near Ballina I learned life the hard way back in those days drug’s women sex and rock n roll and police spike strips on the road soon stop the old holden

Nice work.i had a EH ute 179 .3 speed paid 450 bucks for it.back 30 years ago.it was a old farm Utrecht lots rust no tailgate and under the seat when first got it had spent 20.2 shells.😊

Cheers Steve. This had .22 shells under the seat when I got it too. Think it was a paddock basher before I got it.
