The biggest part of this upgrade consisted of changes to the engines in order for them to comply with exhaust emission standards that were levied by the Australian government on local car manufacturers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cosmetic changes were quite minor, the more notable being revisions to the front grille and badges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-amazon wp-block-embed-amazon\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Acrylic Display Case for 1:18 Classic CARLECTABLES Holden HX LE Coupe Opaline Blue Diecast Car Model Figure Storage Box Dust Proof Glue Free\" type=\"text\/html\" width=\"580\" height=\"550\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen allow=\"clipboard-write\" style=\"max-width:100%\" src=\"https:\/\/read.amazon.com.au\/kp\/card?asin=B0CQ7F7H4L\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Emphasis had shifted away from performance and more towards economy. This was evident in the new engines that had reduced emissions but this had come at the expense of power. There was also now only 1 monaro variant available with the HX.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With that being said however, the HX Sandman Ute and Panelvan were available, with a number of features similar to the Monaro GTS on sale at the same time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Engine choices for the HX were down to 3. The model change saw the 2.8L (186 cubic inch) unit deleted, as were the high and low compression versions of the engines. On offer was a 3.3L (202) for the 6 cylinder and a 4.3L (253 cubic inch) and a 5.0L (308 cubic inch) engine for the V8. All engines had noticeably less power compared to the HJ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/4cqplxi\">HQ HJ HX HZ Repair Manual<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The longer wheelbased HX Statesman sold alongside the HX.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The HZ replaced the HX in October 1977.
