$4K & that's a bloody clean Holden VS Series II ute! Two things a man needs in his life, a shed & a Holden Ute! You looked at home in VS Ute Scotty. I reckon if the cameras weren't there, you would have stashed it in your shed! I'm lucky to own 2 VY Utes, a V6 & A V8 and they both get looks. I'm looking forward to this series. I did notice on the runs that the tonneau cover sagged in the back when you got some speed behind you which would have caused drag. I recommend if you can find a hard lid for it if possible.

Liking this so far. Please, please, please dedicate some screen time throughout the build covering the process of getting it engineered. From consultation through to testing. It would be great to go through the experience to see how straightforward it is for anyone who might be considering doing an engine swap as wild as this.

Assuming that the 3800 V6 in rear drive configuration retains the small bell housing from the 60 * engines, the all aluminum LS4 ( 5.3 ) found in ( USA spec at least ) front drive cars has the same small bell housing. The only real issue with such a swap is the LS4 does not have a spot for a starter mount, the starter is bolted to the transmission. The channel LS4 King has info for front drive stuff and got together with Moroso to make a low mount starter / oil pan conversion.
@STREETMACHINETV 10 ай бұрын

@craigsampson3386 10 ай бұрын
Nice, so are you saying that the LS4 could theoretically just bolt straight upto the original manual gearbox in this ute? I have the original T5 manual from my 94 VR ute which came with the Buick 3800 and it bolted straight upto my L67 swap.

You can double clutch when changing up, clutch in and shift to neutral, let the clutch out and back in with the revs lower to slow the box, and then into the next gear. Takes longer, but works around the street. This'll be a cool project Scotty
