The Holden EH is an automobile produced by General Motors-Holden in Australia from 1963 to 1965. The EH was released in August 1963[1] replacing the Holden EJ series and was the first Holden to incorporate the new “Red” engine, with a 7 main bearing crankshaft instead of the 4 main bearing crankshaft used in the “Grey” engine. A larger capacity 149 ci (2400cc) engine was first only sold attached to a three-speed manual gear box or the “Hydramatic” 4 stage automatic transmission with a (column shift).The Controlled Coupling Hydramatic used in the EH was actually a four stage although it effectively worked as a three speed unit except at full throttle.[2] The 179 ci (2900cc) engine was initially only sold with the “Hydramatic”. The first EH with a 179 ci engine and a manual gear box was called the “EH-S4”, fitted with an up-graded manual gear box, with stronger gears than the 149ci gear box and an up-graded clutch. The three-speed manual (column shift) gear boxes had no synchromesh on first gear and only synchromesh on the second and third ‘top gear’
A total of 256,959 EH Holdens were produced and sold from 1963 to 1965, when the EH was replaced by the Holden HD series
