The Giant Killer GTR XU1 was the work of Harry Firth and the Holden engineers with parts availability and price in mind. The cost to do a home grown six cylinder with after market and factory bits was going to be about half the cost of the going the American V8 way. What they achieved was an amazing little car that is the most successful race and rally car ever to be built in Australia! In 186 cid form and with it's triple stromberg 150CD carbs and the twin branch headers it had a claimed output of 160 bhp. The Aussie 4 speed (M21) which was special in it's design replaced the weaker Opel units, they were also given heavy duty radiators. After proving that it was a competitive race car the 186ci was replaced by the 202ci and the carbs were increased in size to the 175CD's along with the valves, ported head with combustion chamber modifacations, revised camshaft, roller rockers, lighter flywheel (approx 20 pounds) and larger exhaust system. That was where the XU1 was going to end for the XU2 V8 was well under way until it was terminated which forced Harry Firths team to produce the ultimate six cylinder Holden race car, these cars at Bathurst were putting out in excess of 240 bhp (twin throat webber carbs). Just 150 Bathurst Specials with random engine numbers from JP 386598 to JP 404176, the public were never told of these but were given to dealers to pass them on to the right type of person. The unmistakable signs of an original 1973 Bathurst Model are, extra stiffening down the centre tunnel and braces under the front guards that was intended for the V8 version, the XU-2.

This entire page was stolen from www.holden.itgo.com This person says he has a yellow LC but the motor he shows is from a red LJ! And the worst about this is that cardomain allows it to happen!
