Ok Blue Poo and blueFgxr6.
An explanation.
Gm were famous for hobbling their press cars at the time as is well known.
Also GM didn't pomote it as it was so late in the HG run, the HQ was coming, and the Torana was the race car by then.
The late series HG 350 used a different engine sourced from a different engine plant Mckinnon industries in Canada.
Although it wasn't promoted this engine had a stronger block. better flowing inlet manifold and better fuelie type heads.
Stronger tailshaft with bigger font yoke and larger universal joints.
AMC did a test on one of these late series HG and found it did a 14.78 @ 95, not bad at all.
Ironically Harry Firth had proposed a HG Bathurst special, just a pity it wasn't made.
With the 360 hp Lt1 motor, Muncie M21 close ratio box.... along with other things.
Anyway back to Vals.... No VH pacers about?
