HELLO ok so Vic roads have changed the engine rules again I cant put a ls2 in my car legally because it didn't come out factory with a ls2 only ls1.... There's lots of stroker kits for ls1 engines I'm going for the 427 ci but in order for me to do so, what do I need to do to the block? Do I need sleeves, stress testing crack testing?? Any info on it all would be very helpfull and a price list if u have a idea...thank you guys

Deep pockets. You won't really find the answer you are looking for here. You need to speak to some engine builders who can give you the run down. You will need sleeves.

They havn't changed their engines rules, its always been that way. You could get an engineers certificate on that change pretty easily.

I thought it would cost a lot, I went to Vic roads and asked them if I could put one in it they gave me a lot of paper work to read threw and I can only change it with anouther engine to the same size ie 350 I was going to put one in it but I thought if I get pulled over they will want the engine number and then I'm screwed .... thats y I'm asking for help from fellow v8 lovers ---------- Post added 13-05-12 at 15:50 ---------- I bought a cast iron ls2 block but for me to put a engine number on that the only place to do it is on the back of the block passenger hand side and the place I got it from wouldn't put 5.7 on the paper work ---------- Post added 13-05-12 at 15:52 ---------- Quote: Originally Posted by PROGMH [View Post] They havn't changed their engines rules, its always been that way.

There's a list of engineers on the vicroads website.

Ok thank you and do I just say looking to do a 6l conversion from 5.7

Just explain to the engineer that you have a VT LS1 and looking to drop an LS2 in, what's involved in upgrading to get an engineers certificate and what costs are involved. Some of them are absolute wanks on the phone and treat you like an idiot, others are helpful and actually assist you. Just ring around until you find one that's good. Try Talk Torque in Epping, I've always found him really helpful.

Ok I will thanks mate
