just wondering if there are any differences with the vn 5L and the vr 5L??? to my knowledge the vs are different arent they like have clearance in the block because the gts's or something were stock standard stroked motor please correct me if im wrong...that is all lol

i think the vn heads flow better than the other models. thats just wat iv herd

oh ok what if the vr 5L got rebuilt with ported and polished heads u reackon it would flow better then or getta vn head?

VN onwards heads are all the same. the VN and VP V8's are almost identical, changes WERE made to VR and VS motors. Will have to pull a book out to confirm WHAT was changed, but they ARE different. The Heads aren't (contrary to popular belief, most people say 'VN heads', as they were the first injected, non Siamese ported heads)

If there are differences between VN and VR they are minimal and not worth choosing one over the other. VS Series3 and VT Series1 have a roller cam and block clearance for stroker crank

yeah ok thanks fella's sounds good NZEVLHSV have you got another vl yet? you sold your walky hey?

Yeah sold it a few weeks ago. Won't be getting another VL, time for a change...

from vr onwards the blocks are all factory clearanced for strokers, that is about the only difference

Here we go again...

well from wat i have been told all motors vr onwards were clearanced, and i have had a vr v8 engine in my shed for a few weeks and it was clearanced, it is not just vs series 3 and vt series 1 that were clearanced

VR V8 introduced a smarter computer with more memory and capability but still 165kw. VS V8 got a bit larger airbox for another 3kw.

well i'm happy to be proved wrong, never hurts to learn sumthing new

NZEVLHSV yeah true well cant wait to see the new ride you get SORRY DIDNT WANNA START AN ARGUAMENT LOL Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

VR series 2 onwards are clearanced

VS series 3 champ, they were also rated at 179kw and 400nm compared to the series 2 which were 168kw and 395nm, 165kw and 385nm for the series 1. June 1998-December 2000. HSV was a different story Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

i still reckon it was vr, they clearanced them all for the factory strokers and they started in vr EDIT: VR onwards were clearanced from factory, VS3 and VT engines are different again as they r clearanced and have roller lifters.

vs series3 onward, my opinion
