Norm Beechey: GMH does not like competition but it is stuck with it anyway as so many Holdens are sold that they have become the cars mechanics and engineers know most about and for which, because of the number of potential buyers, it is cheaper to manufacture hot-up bits and pieces.
That’s what Beechey had tomagazine in September, 1963. In just a few succinct words, Stormin’ Norman had managed to sum up the entire history of hot Holdens on the road and in competition. But now a whole new chapter was about to start, with a new bigger, better and far more powerful Holden engine.
