Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

theres 3 pages of crap on here and about 4 posts that are actualy usefull time for a clean up maybe lol. not keen on hackin up under neath my car to re drill holes etc lol.i seen one thing bout a custom cross member but that was for t350 or t400 i dunno mybe its same as the t700 ---------- Post added 08-05-10 at 18:08 ---------- ok just went thru all the ummm info lol. one guy seys the cross member for t700 bolts trate in on post 63 or 53 or some where around there. can any one confirm this 100%???

Yep. I did it. No issues

so there was no redrilling and bolting it else where then? cheers mate

Nope. I can take a photo if u like

nah all good i beleave you just some one else said i had to redrill etc. so if i use the following i should be all good and fit without to many dramas vn kframe vr vs hsv headers vl auto power steer rack vn front half tail shaft with vl rear ---------- Post added 13-05-10 at 20:55 ---------- need info on headers asap cause i found a cheap set i want to buy if they fit in

got vp 5l in vl im doing at the moment. it got hsv headers on it and no probs with fitment.

what power steer rack?

You dont have to swap steering racks but if youve got a decent set of shoulders get a manual rack and never worry about anymore leaks. If you lighten the flywheel 4kg, delete the clutch fan and power steer you should have a responsive V8.

cheers.also now what pedal box?im thinking a vh 6cyl pedal box

i'm having troubles atm with fitting the crossmember too, i got a conversion kit from v6 conversions. I'm using a vt 5l and a 5 speed getrag box from a vt. would love to hear about anyone who has used the same cheers

well i have had no luck so im just going to re drill the cross member holes to suit tomorow.ill let you know how i go

yeah if you use a t5 you will need to re drill the holes on the crossmember to suit.
