i know the vn 5 litre kframe goes straight in no worries, so i couldnt see why the vs one would be any different, should be pretty straight forward conversion.i know the transmission tunnel will need to be massaged a bit if u are going to be putting a turbo 700 behind it

red trim white duco is a good combination proven in the vc brocks. Are the pacemakers vs tri y`s ? good score on the yella tera blown motor. Wondered what thore kits were like, just allways shyed away from the price
