Hey i was just wondering if the 5.0 ltre on the vr, vs, and the series 1 vt were the same as the vls?

VNs onwards were fuel injected

VL's are 308 carby - differnet style head VN-VT are 304 injected

They were 304ci like the VL's yes, but they were EFI as Avenged7X said. Pretty much everything else on them was the same though.

later build motors during the VR's are clearnced for the stroker crank series 1 VK and prior is 308, VK series 2 onwards is 304, Injection was introduced in the VL (Walky twin throttle) but single throttle V8 was introduced in the VN.

VL HSV Group A also was first with the "new" VN heads. The VT had a roller block. VL and VN group a were 4 bolt blocks, as were clubby 5000i and VP GTS. HSV used the 4 bolt in the hsv caprice in vr, or vs (i cant remember which, before grange anyway).

cheers big ears, just the info i needed, thanks to everyone

VL V8 motor are typically Trimatic trans pattern, Also I'm sure the inj motors have 7/16" Rod bolts as opposed to VL's 3/8" Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Go the later blocks, incase u ever decide to do a stroker ur blocks ready to rock.

vn-p same block, vr-s same block, vt had a roller cam block.
