Hey guys, I've lurked these forums for a while now and have gained a bunch of really useful info during that time (Thanks to all those who have taken the time to post all that info too ). I am the current owner of a VL V8 Berlina, and have been for a while. It's stock standard, been resprayed - but that's about it other than suspension. I enjoy driving it as is, have no dramas with it. These days it pretty much sits in my garage a fair bit - so I am wondering whether to put some work into it or not. So with that said, (and I know that this has been discussed a fair bit throughout these forums) how would it be converting to a Ls1/Ls2? But I guess my real question is how do people find the conversions? Whether it is worth it or not has been well covered around here, but I wouldn't mind hearing from people that have done it whether they regret it or not. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

my brother did it couple yrs ago... its worth the performance upgrade,... NO DOUBT... bit of playing around to get it in, but its preety easy according to my brother... if u got the cash to spend.. why not.. castlemaine have everything u need, but theres plenty other joints that have everything aswell.

the conversion is pretty straight forward just make sure you get what you pay for?

whats the cost to get it engineered? couple of hundred or more like thousands? cheers

I've got my Ls1 sitting in my Vl's bay now. Have alook under QLD section. Under 79HSV LS1 build. Pic's are up.
