Maybe a stupid question but I'll ask it anyway.

Does an LS1 engine fit into a VL, Yes or No. If yes how hard is it to fit/setup? any pics/links or info on this topic would be very nice as well. thanks -=whiteshadow=- [email removed]

...a different engine never/rarely fits straight in. You make it fit! VL's came out with a V8 option, it wouldnt be too hard to make it fit but you'd be best to start with a V8 VL.

yes, it would fit.. one of my friends is in the process of putting an LS1 from a VU SS Ute into his VK.. you will need alot of custom setup though - engine mounts, gearbox cross members, wiring looms, etc etc - its costs quite a bit...
