My VL 304 came with the stronger X rods factory, I think most of them did, The engine numer will tell you what it is. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

my 5.0 vl isnt 304, mine is 308.... so not all VL v8's are 304.... my 2 cents VLDooD

ive got a vl motor in my vk and its a 308 not 304!

My VL has a 161ci motor not a 308 or 304 http://calaisturbo.com.au/showthread.php?t=37960

All VL's (V8)came with the 304. If it has a 308 in it then it has been converted with something like a VK block. The VK had both 304 and 308. The 308 is like series 1 and the 304 is series 2. This has been covered a heap of times.

Some of the VL Blocks are still stamped 308, as are a few of the cranks. Not all 304's have 5.0 on the block. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
