Thinking of selling the VL as i just don't use it anymore, but before i do i'd like to offer up the driveline as the car itself was my wifes first car so holds some sentimental value. This is a genuine proven 9 second package run with exhaust on and on pump fuel (98). Car drives like standard, doesn't need a big converter or transbrake to go fast. Oh and the entire setup is hidden and looks like a stock efi 5.0 from the bay. Ok so what you get (everything!) Engine: COME 3.48" crank (355) COME 4340 I beams TRW forged pistons Main stud girdle APR main and head studs king bearings Cometic head gaskets Tidied up VN heads with crane springs, 140lb on the seat custom grind 232.5/224@.050 .500/.480 cam crane pushrods Yella terra shaft mount adjustable rockers Redline hiwinder inlet manifold 42lb injectors Hi Energy sump Kalmaker ECU Mallory Hifire 6 CDI with coil. Turbo system: Borg Warner K29/K31 turbo (flows 950hp) 60mm wastegate Cast manifolds into steam pipe. 4" dump into full 3.5" exhaust system. 600x400x76mm intercooler with all piping. no visable holes but requires one under the airbox. Mechanical scavenge pump with all hard lines for low mount turbo. Auto: Built th400 Race eliminator 3500 converter (boost/nitrous approved) Custom 2 piece tailshaft with chev sized unis both front and rear. Diff: VL BW housing 28 spline LSD centre. Fuel system: Under car surge tank 2 x 044 pumps all fittings to run twin lines one to each rail, then a single 10mm hardline return. This was all in a full weight VL calais and ran 9.95@139mph this means 700 moroso hp or 400rwkw on a dyno dynamics dyno. $20,000 no swaps, no stupid offers.

Probably one of the best cars on c/t hands down. Congrats. I might as well ask for the greater good what is the total package inclusive of vehicle worth understanding sentimental value has no price.

Having had a ride in this car I can say how amazing the power is. It idles like a stocker, drives like a stocker and gives absolutely nothing away under normal use. Then when you feel like stepping on the load pedal all hell breaks lose. It's a very very well built set up. Best of luck Az.
