This Holden V8 category is built for 253, 304, 308, 5.0L, 355 and 383 stroker engine combinations. Whether you are freshening up an old red, blue or black 308, rebuilding a VN-VS 304 EFI engine, or planning a tough 355 stroker, this page brings the main Holden V8 engine parts together in one place.

We stock and supply Holden V8 parts across the full engine combination, including camshafts, lifters, valve springs, roller rockers, pushrods, timing sets, oil pumps, gaskets, bearings, pistons, crankshafts, rods, stroker kits, cylinder heads, intake manifolds, ignition parts, fasteners and fuel system parts.

Since we are direct dealers and work closely with trade customers, engine shops and performance builders, we get regular feedback on what is working, what lasts, and what suits Australian Holden V8 builds. That helps us stock the right parts and give better advice before you buy.

We hold popular Holden V8 engine parts in stock in Australia where available. When you order stocked products, they ship promptly from our own warehouse, with same-day dispatch when ordered before 2pm on business days. We ship Australia-wide, with free freight over $200. We also offer express shipping for urgent projects.

Our sales team are experienced engine builders, not order-takers. If you are matching parts for a Holden V8 combo, we can help with camshaft choice, compression, valve springs, lifters, rockers, pushrods, oiling, timing, induction and stroker kit selection so the parts work together, not fight each other.

Total Performance has been supplying performance engine and driveline parts since 1979. We are backed by 5-star Google reviews from customers across Australia and practical advice from people who understand Holden, Chevy, Ford and Chrysler V8 engine combinations.

Questions before you order? Call 1800 351 351 and speak with our team before buying the wrong Holden V8 parts twice.

355 and 383 displacements depend on the exact crank, rod and piston combination — confirm your stroker kit specs with us before ordering matched parts.

The 253 and 308 share the same 3.062" stroke; the difference is bore (3.625" vs 4.000"). The 304 is the later fuel-injected 5.0L. Parts are not always interchangeable across all five — bore, induction (carby vs EFI), and early vs late "roller" blocks all matter. Check fitment before you buy.
