Get yourself a bargin!

Hi there everyone. Was just wondering if I could use my vc manual steering rack for my conversion or do I need a vl manual steering rack? I am using a Vn v8 k frame. Cheers in advance.

bugsy i think they would be the same..... could be wrong but as to moving the rack i have done it twice and never had a problem you only need 10mm and can be made up in the ball joints

how do you go about moving the rack?

Has anyone fitted a cam to their conversion yet . I've bought a 228/230 Comp cam and wanting to know what other parts I should use with it to get the most out of it while being reliable . Any pointers from someone who's done it ?

we r putting a 6l out of vz ss in2 vl v8 we got ecu loom , no vats , starter relocation kit extractors , got relocation kit from cae n had drama with that n the extractor hits floor . we r deciding 2 sell extractors n relocation kit n goin turbo , we think it b cheaper n more power

I've got a 238/242 cam in mine. Also did Double Row timing chain and also Valve Springs. All new along with new Oil Pump, decked and flowed heads etc with the rebuild. Also put in ARP Rod Bolts while it was all apart.

Any pointers from someone who's done it ? she be right. just check PTVC. all ls motor are the same in that sense. you can youtube doing a cam change, pretty easy. ---------- Post added 08-03-13 at 17:39 ---------- Quote: Originally Posted by my30et [View Post] we r putting a 6l out of vz ss in2 vl v8 we got ecu loom , no vats , starter relocation kit extractors , got relocation kit from cae n had drama with that n the extractor hits floor . we r deciding 2 sell extractors n relocation kit n goin turbo , we think it b cheaper n more power stop being a girl and use a hammer :-) turbo is cheap to start with...

i cut the mounts out bought some 50mm x50mm tube and made new mounts and welded them to the cross member very easy if the cars on the hoist....

use a hammer wat on , i gotta reheat extractors n bend them if keep n/a , i just dont c the point of spending 10 2 15 g on a ls engine conversion n still not happy how it goes , but gt42 on it with e85 we will b happy Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

lol 10-15. the days of spending that are over. get it done and do turbo later :-) thats what im doing, wanna do skids first haha

I reckon cam and head work get the car up to 500rwhp and it will be a very quick car.... In a few weeks i am going to take mine to the creek with the standard 297kw maloo motor with 6 speed gearbox and a 411s diff and see what i run.... i think a low 12 maybe high 11 if i am lucky and i will run full slicks on the back too

haha i dont think we have spent that , the extractors n relocation kit cost like 2g , the loom n ecu 1600 the box out of our old vn , brand new vz ss motor , fuel cell pumps surge tank , hardline , reg fitting , shifter , n wat else

ive done mine for 4k. ready to start as carby, rattle the **** without the electronic bull**** rape it! Ari, you did another one after the green one?? get some more pics and vid up! love that ****! Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

all good almost got everythink 2 finish , still need 2 pull motor out , paint the car do the interior n some new wheels , cam n gas e85 tune

what prices should you be paying for a wreck these days (manual)? And also how hard is it to change out the drive by wire if you go LS2
