Lynx manifold would be aftermarket, but GTR's had a WW2 on a properly made mani.

Its a very good underrated combo for a standard to very mild (yt head and small cam) holden six, and a combo i recommend to many people on these forums instead of the more common 350 holley.

Also an induction setup i had on my daily driver LH for ages with very good results, after i pulled a 350 holley off and put that setup on!!!

Definitely not bin, someone will want it.

Dont expect gold though, $100 tops me thinks.

Cheers.

Strommie 2 barrels started back on HR X2 with Holden manifold and stock X2 aircleaner (thats what my setup is)

Ran this setup in my EH wagon and was very happy with the way it behaved and performed.

Was much more settled (no flat spots!!) than the holley 350 i had on it.

179HP out to 186, balanced, mild cam and a good ported head (YT possibly?)

Hi Paul,
Correct me if I'm wrong, I thought both the HD and HR X2 engines sported two single barrel BXUV series strombergs not the WW2 two barrel carb as used on the HK, HT (and HG?) 186 GTS and LC 161 GTR and most Red 253 V8's.

Cheers
Dave

Checked the number on my carbie in this thread and was for HR-HT, so only following that advice.

Also the last posts by Rodomo and Dr Terry confirms this.

Sorry guys, got X2 muddled? checked my air cleaner its 186S
