Who has one? Who's building one? Is there a secret sub cult of these rigs growing?

Yes Yes And yes Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

the one on the right has a ls1/6spd and like i said in the other thread, i've been seriously considering an l98/th400 in the one on the left. (http://s28.photobucket.com/user/cayeeb/media/IMG_0842_zpsjpet2plg.jpg.html) jacks wagon will be ready soon from what i see on snapchat yeh ? Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Yeah, one day

I am currently getting an ls1 6.0L stroker built for a tuxedo black vl sl with manual rack and welded diff.

far out why not splash out on a power steering rack and lsd ?

This car is being built to be a circuit racer/ sprint racer.

Sweet looks like a few pushrod heroes then! For those with VL's who wants to let us in on your builds? what mounts/gearboxes/wiring setups have you guys done?

There is a basic how to that I wrote up in the tech articles section of how I did mine, could add to that

VLWAGONIT- Your thread is really useful btw - i read it again tonight... ecu, loom, engine mounts, transition mounts, headers, i haven't decided on yet..... Currently for my tuxedo black SL, I have removed the interior, dash, heater, aircon, RB30 engine computer and loom, transmission, drive shaft. Leaving the manual rack, brake booster, fuse box, borg warner diff and spool, 4 wheel discs and king springs will all be looked at later.... A professionally commission a compliant ADRA / CAMS cage and fit out after the usual rust / welding repairs, new seals, and sound deadening removed. The Engine is currentl being engineered to be a high rev 2004 LS1 built with forged pistons, H beam conrods and stroker kit (6.0L). Heads are completed already machined port and polish racing cam shaft package with roller rockers. Gear box is a short throw, close ratio tremec t56 with 11" clutch and flex plate Drive shaft - Custom Heavy Duty 2 piece driveshaft 1350 yokes and 110mm CV Diff - borg warner full spool Suspension, brakes, camber kit, bushes, sway bars, ill have to do some research into yet.

I still recomend pacepaker for the mounts, i went the crs kit for the starter relocation as it was cheaper but it doesnt interfere with anything. Pacemaker headers fit with no modifications using their mounts as well

I'm building an LS powered VK Royal, will start a build thread soon. Have an LS2 LY6 cast block, will be a forged 402 turbocharged , powerglide trans, 9" diff 31 spline. 6 point cage. Using Belair Mount Plates and starter relocation, VN V6 crossmember and rack, VL intermediate steering shaft, billet V6 engine mounts. Made my own trans cross member with nolathane powerglide mount. Will be custom turbo manifold with 4" down pipe.

With the pacemaker headers and mounts and a manual rack, will I still need the starter relocation kit? ---------- Post added 05-04-15 at 00:34 ---------- Quote: Originally Posted by Steve [View Post] LS3 Fast manifold Dual valve springs Custom Comp Cam That is Wild!

All VB-VS need the starter relocation I am still waiting for a clean bodied calais sedan/wagon to come up to do this conversion Will be much less headache than my stupid torana

Here's a teaser pic of mine (http://s103.photobucket.com/user/Johnvolle/media/IMG_0621_zpskqkqjdea.jpg.html) Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

What throttle cable has everyone used? or has everyone gone fly by wire? One of the only things I haven't sorted for mine
