I don't know exactly what it means to be a G series Interceptor, but mine is 128/4782. I can send pictures if you want?

Pierre J,

The G series Mk3's were the first 332 RHD & 59 LHD built between Aug 71 and May 72.

They had the 6276cc V8 used in the Mk1 & Mk2.

The G series came with a Holley carb.

Yours is an H series 7212cc V8 , and the first J series was Dec 72

Hope this helps

But you'd have to agree, the E-Series 383 as fitted to the late Mk I / early Mk 2, is the one to go for?

Gentlemen,

Well, I don't know about this all and what engine could be the best. What I can tell you is that this one has been worked on,
mainly bij the previous owner, and now has another camshaft with a double chain, roller rockers, headers, 2 1/2 inch dual exhaust, fuel injection, fast shift modification, so you do the math.........
