EH Holden vs EJ Holden<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The EH Holden replaced the EJ Holden in August 1963. While only featuring a minor facelift compared to the previous model, change with the EH is the introduction of an all new engine, the red engine. An inline 6 which was larger and produced more power than the previous Grey 6.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The \u2018Red engine\u2019 had a larger capacity of 149 cubic inch (2.4L) or an even bigger 179 cubic inch (2.9L) engine. They were available with either a 3 speed manual or an Automatic Transmission. The previous \u2018Grey engine\u2019 had been in service since the inception of Holdens original 48-215 in 1948, 15 years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was also the first Holden to offer two engine choices. EH prices started at $2 102.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wheelbase: 106 Inches (2692 mm)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Length: 177.6 Inches (4511mm)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Width: 68 Inches (1727mm)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Height: 58.2 Inches (1478mm)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kerb Weight: 2464 lbs (1118kg)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The \u2018Red\u2019 engine was well overdue for Holden. The previous \u2018Grey\u2019 engine had been used since the original 48-215 Holden which was first released 15 years ago in 1948. The \u2018red\u2019 engine was more powerful and more fuel efficient than the \u2018grey\u2019 engine.  The EH and the new engine were well received by the Australian buying public, the car sold in large numbers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
