just wondering if its hard to fit a ls1 into a vl, going to do it in a year or so, thought it would be somthing differnt anyone got any pics of one in a vl? or anyone know if anyone has even done it?

yep its been done, know someone putting a TT ls1 into his vl atm too. its not THAT easy, theres heaps of little things like if you use the ls1 g/box the trans tunnel needs to be made bigger, and then you need to do the brakes, suspension, diff (although a 28 spline would be up to the job)...but the mounts are easy enough to get off the shelf now. as for pics,there was 1 in street commodores magazine not too long ago

yeah will be using the 6 speed manual from the ls1s is it hard to make the tunnel bigger? money wise? and forza sorry make will make the thread there. mods delete thread please!

its really just alot of cutting and welding, if you know what your doing its alright, but we've put an auto in his. this car isn't really being built on a budget, and all the works getting done between mates so couldn't really give a price.

it wont be built on a budjet going to be a long build, build it once and proply to show spec Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

If your serious PM me.. I can sort mounts and so forth for you.

im serious but not going to do it in about a years time, i will let you know if your still on here

cost me like 10 grand and i only paid 3 for engine and 6 speed also still haven't got an engineers so there is still plenty of money left to spend (did the work myself too), trans tunnel is big enough you just need to manipulate it a little with a hammer so the reverse lock out solinoid fits.... i did it in my driveway at home wasn't that hard, though wiring isn't easy

yeah with the wiring i will prob take it to an auto elec, is that 10 grand with everything done? With engine,box wiring and all that in?

wiring engine box and parts i did all the work myself, i spent at least 10 grand don't underestimate how much it'll cost worth it though Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

haha yeah its a vl turbo shell i was going to put the rb30 turbo in it but after going to cruise for charity i completly changed my mind the roar of the ls1 are the best! is the wiring hard much to do and also what ecu did you run?

Yeah I got sick of the problems that come with the turbo. With the right diagrams you can get it done but you may as well save yourself the headache and pay someone or go carby i'm running the stock ecu from the vy ss I borrowed everything from Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

yeah nah stuff carby and true will be less head ache, you got any pics of yours?

not really i got like one of the engine shot send me your email if you want it

Pm sent

thanks tim_355 that is s nice any more specs on it?

No problem what would you like to know. i built the whole car myself.......

Very nice mate. I'm planning on putting an LS1 into my vl project once I get the paint etc done....anything you can share would be good. Namely what you have to cut/bash/manipulate to get the thing in there. Is yours auto or manual?
