20-05-08, 18:22 GMT+10#48 I can imagine it would go pretty f*cking well!
The LS1 looks so good in the VL bay! I would love to do this oneday, but it will probably never happen so I'll have to stick to my heavy ass VX R8! Would be madness to swap the engine and drivetrain, brakes, interior over to a VL!

yeah sweet as sound good its pretty hard every1 who says they'v done this conversion says it sets em back like 15G and it turns me of it so bad, i dont see how it will i have the conversion kit for the starter,engine mounts i need a starter,gearbox mount,tailshaft,radiator,exhaust,MOTOR lol i have a 6 speed, and i need it wired up and sorry the re-programed computer,and a few little bits and pieces but yeah im using a brake upgrade from ebay same as vt i just dont see how it will all add up to that as im doing alot of the work myself....anyway
