VS series 3 & VT series 1 WERE clearanced. VN to VS series 2 were not clearanced unless it was a holden stroker. VS series 3 and VT series 1 had the following over previous motors - Sequential injection - 3 more vaccum hoses on the manifold and throttle body - CLEARANCED block - Roller cam - Valley bracket - different pulley setup - larger air box - maf sensor - they also ran a different alternator there was a very select few of standard vr 5ltr blocks that were clearanced, these were left over stock from holden. they are still the same 5ltr motor, but there isnt many of them out there.
