Retrieved on 25 October 2010 Australian manufactured 253-cubic-inch (4.2-litre) and 308-cubic-inch (5.0-litre) V8 engines were new, replacing the imported 307-cubic-inch (5.0-litre) V8s. Initially the 308 was fitted to only the Brougham, and existing stocks of the imported 307 were used in other models. Once these supplies were exhausted, the 308 V8 was made available as an option across the HT range. The 327-cubic-inch (5.3-litre) Chevrolet V8 that had powered the HK Monaro GTS 327 was replaced by a 350-cubic-inch (5.8-litre) Chevrolet V8 in the newly introduced HT Monaro GTS 350 model. Three-speed manual, four-speed manual and two-speed "Powerglide" automatic transmissions were offered.Ewan Kennedy and Alistair Kennedy, The Holden Heritage – 13th Edition, 2007, page 64 A smaller, version of Holden's inline-six Red motor ("130 HC") was available for export markets. It produced at 4400 rpm and was meant for higher octane fuel.
The HT utility was assembled in South Africa as the Chevrolet El Camino. The interior, front fascia, and badging were unique to South Africa and it received either a Chevrolet six-cylinder engine or the V8. Less than 500 Holdens were exported in this way.
