Hows it all going anyways....[COLOR="Silver"] haha yeah. well the prices ive got is 1450 for 76mm s400 and 1950 for 80mm with the race cover. pulling the car off the road atm to fix up all the electrics and what not. im broke atm and at a cross roads with it. no rush tho. need to cash up to buy a new block, none til end of year tho apparently but gives me time to hunt down some other bits and sort my cooling setup too car still looking good tho and driving it every where...

This would be a great conversion to do to a VL ,albeit being a pushrod motor I think they are equally as good as the RB30 in durability and reliability and they're also pretty good on fuel for a v8 too ! They are all alloy so they're a light engine. My VY , it's strange how much it feels like I'm driving my VL (which I've still got) but it's not the same car , probably because it's also got a very smooth idle as well , well , there is a minor hiccup there , I've gotta change one of the o2 sensors because it gets erratic sometimes (I've replaced the other one already). I was a bit worried about it being tuned for 276 FWKW and the 3.9:1 diff ratio but it only sucks the juice down in the city or when I tow stuff with it (about 14 - 15 L/100 kms) but if I cruise on the highway I get between 8 - 11 L/100 kms , city/highway economy is about 10 - 11 L/100 kms which is pretty much what economy I got out of the RB30DE in the VL. Don't worry about the oil consumption problem , that was only in the VT's and some of the VX's I think, mines done over 238,000 kms and doesn't use any oil.

i have a full exhaust to suit a LS series motor in a vl for sale, HPC coated extractors, hooker mufflers, 3" outlaw cats, 3" all the way over the diff, will need a fuel cell as the exhaust finishes in the middle of the car at the back

I have a ready to plug in loom with ecu, already has bcm removed + a mafless tune done, was running in a vr ss $700, tuff mounts suit ls1 into vb-vs $350, msd mini starter $350, pm for more details.

How did the MSD mini starter go did it fit or is that why you are selling?

they still hit the rack

Iv never tried, mines still in box, lost interest n sold everything.

your soft... really soft Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Yeah he is mate.. And the cooler piping

I know the T400 will bolt to the LS, and can get the converter easy enough - just want to make sure that i don't need a starter coversion kit to put starter on passeneger side of the T400. I suppose i'll find out soon enough Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

yeah it is the same i just dont know how much clearance there is, i know you can bolt up the standard v8 tail shaft straight up to it though.

Let me know if you fit yours up before me, InsaneVL - I'll do likewise if I get there first too Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

never used a start conversion kit, waste of money, cheaper to use manual rack or space the rack Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
