Holden 308 V8 Engine Parts 253 304 308
Holden V8 Engine Parts — 253, 304, 308, 5.0L, 355 & 383
Holden V8 engine parts for 253, 304, 308, 5.0L and 355/383 stroker builds — in stock and shipped Australia-wide.
This is the main parts page for the Holden V8 — the all-Australian "Iron Lion" that powered everything from HT–WB and Torana to the Commodore. Whether you're doing a straight rebuild on a tired 308, freshening a VN–VS 304, or stepping up to a 355 or 383 stroker, this is where the whole combination comes together: bottom end, heads, valvetrain, timing, induction, ignition and ancillaries.
Pick the parts for your build below, or go deeper into each category. If you're not sure what suits your engine, that's what we're here for — talk to a sales team that builds these engines, not a call centre reading part numbers off a screen.
Why buy your Holden V8 parts from Total Performance

Holden V8 engine family — quick reference
| Engine | Capacity | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 253 | 4.2L | 1969–84. 3.625" bore. Carby. HT–WB, Torana, early Commodore. |
| 308 | 5.0L | The classic. 4.000" bore, 3.062" stroke. Carby through the Blue/Black engines. |
| 304 | 5.0L EFI | VN–VS Commodore EFI version of the 5.0L. |
| 355 | ~5.8L stroker | Built off the 308 with a stroker crank, rods and pistons. Popular street/strip combo. |
| 383 | larger stroker | Bigger-capacity stroker build off the Holden V8 block. |
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.
