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.

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. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

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

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
