adam just before you go out spending money to fix the alt- just have a look at the 10 ml strap bolt face- some time it welds it self to give it a bad contact just clean it up if thats the case- Its happen to me and some cars that i have worked on the alt rarely ****- Looking very good by the way-

that LS1 looks like a comfy fit in a VL's engine bay! Not bad at all champ, I like it, something different

thats awesome!! you've done a great job mate.

It popped the diode which in turn kept draining the battery when ignition off, thanks for the tip nick anyway. adam

yeah, its looking good man! my brother did this with his VL, although hes is injected. its a tight fit, barely got the extractors in. still rips out 290kw @ the wheels with the auto, no headwork only cam. keep us updated, would also love to see a clip of this thing ^_-

i like Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

man love the project. Congrats on having the courage to go with this project. I softed out. I stayed the 304 block. Hey your saying something about the diode blowing (is that in the alternator?), that drains the battery. Where is that? Mine goes flat over a few days. Big truck battery in boot, but for some reason it is draining... Sorry to high jack your thread.

Big truck battery in boot, but for some reason it is draining... Sorry to high jack your thread. Diode is in the alternator . You can hook up a multimeter to the the battery to work out if you current draw , thats how i found mine. But stuff like stereos/alarms/shonky wiring of fuel pumps and guages all have an effect. adam

Yea I have already hooked up a multimeter to the battery, it is loosing charger over 2-3 days. So to replace the diode, can it be done easily? is it in the regulator? Or should I just take the alternator in to an auto elec? Cheers mate
