GH engine
Isuzu's first petrol engines were license built Hillman units for the locally assembled Minx, from 1953.
Called the GH10 it has a bore of 65 mm (2.56 in) and a stroke of 95 mm (3.74 in) for a displacement
of 1,260 cc (76.9 cu in). Power is 37.5 PS (28 kW). In 1955 this was updated to the GH12, a square
design with a 76.2 mm bore and stroke for a displacement of 1,390 cc (84.8 cu in). This was
upgraded in 1956 for more power, 46 PS (34 kW) rather than the original's 43 PS (32 kW), and was
renamed GH100. In 1958, power increased yet again, to 50 PS (37 kW).[2]
GL engine
For 1959 Isuzu developed their own square design (78 mm or 3.07 in) called the GL150, Isuzu's first
own petrol engine.[3] Still showing unmistakable Hillman origins it displaces 1,491 cc (91.0 cu in) and
has 60 PS (44 kW).[2] The GL150 was fitted to the 1959 Isuzu Elf and the 1961 Bellel.

block and associated components for the USA market Isuzu G-series engines were locally produced
under license by a GM engine casting and assembly plant in Flint, Michigan. In South America an
overhead-cam version was adapted, and later developed into a 1599 cc version.[5]

"LR1" engine code. Unlike the 1.4 which was locally produced, the G200 was imported (it was also
used with the second generation LUV and Isuzu P'UP) until GM discontinued it as the entry level
powerplant when the Iron Duke was made the base motor after 1985; some early S10/S15s came
