Im not sure if you can do it.. But the RTA keeps track of engine numbers and the car they are in.
They might be able to tell you what type of vehicle it was from...
then again.. they aren't too helpful sometimes

Try your holden dealer to see if it is on their system. If they mention privacy...inform them you just want to know what model car it was originally fitted to not the owners details.
It worked for me with a Nissan engine but that was years ago...

the first letter is a Q not an O, signifies that its from the hq range (red motor). Q desination went all the way thru the red motor range till the end. The next letter R says that it is a 253, if it was a 308 it would be a T

I agree with Paul, but the first letter keeps on changing to identify model, my HZ Kingswood was "ZR", My LH Torana is "HT". The one to get is the "HZ" out L34 Torana, stronger but like rocking horse sh%t.

Good to hear but how did you ascertain that it was out of a one tonner?
