The MPI Automotive FX-256 is a tubular extractor listed to fit the Holden Torana LC and LJ with the 253 or 308 V8. It replaces the cast factory manifolds with tubular headers for the early Torana.

What does this extractor cover?

This is the header section for the Holden Torana LC and LJ fitted with the 253 or 308 V8. It covers the manifold replacement on each bank; it's the extractor only, not a full system. The 253 and 308 are the listed engine sizes, and dropping a V8 into the compact LC-LJ Torana means clearance is tight, so the header's shape is as important as its tube.

What is an extractor and what does it change?

An extractor (header) is the first part off the exhaust ports. The factory cast manifold keeps the runners short and merged to stay compact; a tubular extractor gives each cylinder its own primary before they collect, which is the gain over the cast unit on a V8 like the 253 or 308. In a small, early car like the LC-LJ Torana the bay is tight, so the extractor has to be shaped to fit around the steering and chassis. That's why clearance is checked at fitting rather than assumed.

Will it suit my Torana LC-LJ?

It's listed to fit the Holden Torana LC and LJ with the 253 or 308 V8. Years aren't published beyond those body codes, so send us your build and we'll confirm the FX-256 matches the engine you're running before ordering. We treat the listing as 'listed to fit', not a guarantee, since feed data can be imperfect.

Is fitment tight in an LC-LJ Torana?
