Still can't believe Jesse sold the VP international with eazy 11's running gear for so cheap. I wonder who has it now and what they are doing with it cause its one extreme set up for a n/a.

the international was awesome, yeah it all got sold for 15k, eazy 11 driveline and the vp international included. Best buy for the new owner. Eazy 11 was best when it was the sleeper.

Pavtech built easy 11. Was auto, pretty sure had a vn lsd diff with gears. I got none of either car, SLY 747 might have some of both. The VP was an awesome car though, he was aiming for a very low 10 in it but something came up and he sold it extremely cheap before he told any of us.

standard VN 4.11 mini spool diff (never had a drama) done by preston auto's t700 auto - shift kit, converter (no trans brake) built originally by a backyarder for a nice price, serviced and freshened up by preston auto's. and PAVTEK did all the engine work, mate of mines old man did the body for him. Yer almightyVL i agree there, i drove the thing with both motors and i reckon the first motor it ever had was the best motor, which was when it was a sleeper, and driven more than reguarly, only had the hydraulic 186 in it, and still did an 11.1, went the 10.7 with the new motor 288 solid etc. ONPSI ive got a ****load of pics here i wouldnt know where to start sending lol Jesse sold the car as he bought a new semi trailer to start a business, and he has a VY SS ute as well, the combo had already done 10.70's in marks VN so no reason why it wouldnt do 10's in jesse's international, i dont think i have any pics of jesse's around got a few videos etc as well here of the VN on the street :P

Post up the links to the vids, saves putting up all the pics. Did you ever get the vids of Jesse's driving his old calais on the CCC cruises? Skating down the whole street.

Mines running the same driveline with 355ci, 288, etc and i was thinkin i'd be happy with 11's - i've already started a nitrous setup thinkin i'd use it later to crack 10's - looks like i might not need it now haha.
