You could do a engine swap, doesnt cost to much really, just heaps of mucking around, I want to do that with mine at some stage,

just dump a injected 308 into a vl goes in sweet, just if u want to put a turbo700 box in there u gonna have to smash the tunnel out cause it doesnt fit, but a manual or t400 or t350 will go in sweet

Just cause a motor is injected doesnt mean you can do more mods to it - there were quick carby V8's remember?
Why not just drop a injected 8 into a VLC ? Piece of p*ss to do, doesnt weigh as much as a barge. My mates VH SL/E is a classic example - cubes+injection and light body = fun and reliability

sv88 is carby if i remember correctly,also on the carby vs injection alot of people are making alot of power with blow through carby set ups.eg the wb ute at horsepower heros.
