Everytime there's a question regarding the CUI of the V8 in the VL, people always think its a 308. Its a 304, 4.9L as for the reason stated above.

Well is the guy talking about the VL 304 or the newer injected motor? I don't think you can put in an older 308 legally. I always thought you couldn't put an old engine in a newer car, but you can put a newer engine in an older car. Don't put a carby engine in your VL. I would much rather EFI in my VL. The smoothness, flexibility, reliability. Think about it. My mate has a 5.7 VS motor in his VK Calais converted to carby.

If you can track down a VT engine, its by far the best of the EFI 304s. Considering it has sequential injection and the lifter bores clearenced for roller lifters.

i would also like to know what is a Body Control Simulator

What about the Black 5ltr engines in VL's, weren't they 308??? Can't see why you can't put either 304 or 308 in them, as long as pollution control carp is met, then whats the problem? Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Who said injected comos dont sound tuff Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Trent, TUFFER sounding than the TUFFST? Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

It isnt the original thats why. VL's all came with 304's - S1 and S2 No if buts or maybes - if you have anything else, its been changed at some point.
