Like ^ What K frame did you use nasty1, VL V8 or VN? What diff? Any tips/adive to share which hasnt already been discussed?
Also, whats the go with rego, does it have to be engineered? The VL came out with a 5L V8 from factory, this just has a different fuel delivery (fuel injection rather then carb) so it doesnt need engineering??
Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

in mine, i used VN K-frame, used a vl turbo diff.
i used VL v8 pedal manual pedal box.
no dramas at all using these.
i had to get mine engineered, vicroads rejected me twice for stupid reasons.
The car wasnt registered for starters, or i else i could guarantee they wouldnt have knocked me back if i was to go in there and change engine numbers.

Awesome, pretty much exatly what i wanna do! VN manual V8 donor car, using K frame, pick up a VL turbo diff and mines original manual so ive already got the pedal box. Great success. You running the 3:45 turbo gears HKLS1? hows that go for driveabilty?
i knew that its a hydraulic clutch, it cant be modded to suit cable? So it take it manual v8s were cable, theyre hard to come by.. i dont think ive ever seen a factory manual v8 vl. So what do i use here in my case of manual, vn setup?
Vb-vl manual v8 pedals. I'm currently using manual vh 6cyl ones with some modification but I'm stil going to find v8 ones. Vn pedals don't fit. Yes the t5 bos is cable and vb-vl v8 pedals are cable
i Have a 5ltr VQ Stato Will This be a Good Donor Car ? i have two Vls 1 Bt1 and 1 Vl Lobelia Purple Berlina The VQ STATO is a Project That i Cant be stuffed to finish There Ugly was thinking Every ones saying VN K Frame Fits VL ect as Far as i Know VQ Same Thing ? if this is true Them i might just take everything back out and crush the caprice

theres a thread in the v8 section somewhere.there a plug on your eng loom you snip the plug off and theres about 4-5 wires you have to wire up to a couple of relays and it starts.maybe 1-2hr max worth of work if you have half a clue

Hey all,
could anyone let me know if they have a clutch pedal for a vl hydraulic clutch set up(off an rb30 model not v8) i will buy whole pedal box if need be. oh could anyone tell me will the master cyclinder set up for this be big enough for the getrag 5 speed.
has anyone had any trouble with the temp gauge? the vl sender dont screw in and ive tried a few but at running temp it sits around 5/8 to 3/4 but the temp is all good? any one had a similar problem?
