Crazy prices now

Don’t forget exhaust noise, ride height, calibrated gauges, proper clearances around engine and gear box, yes bigger brakes but must be matching booster and master, other wise will need a day at a track for testing, retractable lap/sash belts are also needed even on pre retractable days. I got my hg engineered with ls2, 6l80, 9 inch, coil overs, 4 link, chassis brace, power rack and piñon and ford territory brakes all round for $850 4 years ago. All self fabricated but they don’t need to know that 🤫

So drum brakes are all good ???

@@davidtyrrell9368 can you do all modifications and then get it engineer or is there a process before start of works

Happy I can shed some light on the matter. I'd love an LS3, maybe later on!

Thanks very much! Yes I agree, love the new rumble

Thanks mate, enjoying it!

Good luck with the build!

Yeah definitely a few different ways to do this conversion. Next time I'd probably tackle the harness myself, very time consuming though! I'll check out the VS build, thanks

Any good tutorials on harness making been quoted $1200

Haha you'll have to stick with the 304 for now then! Shame as the LS is far easier and cheaper to make power with

I'd still pick what you have mate the 304 over a ls1 for a start if it's one of the first ls1 that came to Australia they had a few problems but the only one I can remember was massive oil consumption problem the engines had don't get me wrong this bloke has done a brilliant job I don't think you could have done it any cheaper than this you should get a harrop supercharger for your injected 304 mate harrop just realised one about 18months ago Google it got massive amount of power out of the 5.0 the motor had the best of everything from what I can recall and got 608kw out of it bloody impressive if you ask me out of a dinosaur engine

​@Mark Perkins yuck.

Chair sniffer​@@murrijuana2842

Why's that

A few good hits with a hammer was all that was needed!

@@MarslandMotorsport awesome cheers! Got a vh that im building at the moment aswell

Thanks. Wasn't any other damage apart from the tyre coming off! Lucky!

Yep pretty much. Should have done a cam! Always need more power!

@@MarslandMotorsport HaHa yep too true nice swap though with all the costings thanks for posting.

@@AndrewMitchell001 thanks for watching!

You have to make sure that any line that you use is ethanol compliant if going e85.

Just bigger brakes really. Some decent struts with low springs. Thanks for watching!

Hey matt if youre looking for brake upgrades i went vt calipers rotors and booster. PBR sell a kit or you can source your own. Rear breaks your best bet is either a vl rear disk diff or vn but they're slightly wider. As for suspension don't waste your time it's like polishing a turd. I spent over 2k on new everything only for it to feel worse than a stock silvia/skyline

@@jamiehunt8016 I was running the VT callipers for a while. Now I've upgraded to AP callipers 😊👌

Google muscle garage or cai industries or Castlemaine rod shop

😊the K fraim from a V L V8 is the same as a V N _VS ,the power head on the steering rack is off set different to a V N you need to change it with the power head pips from a VN ,and you will be good to go ,

And if you looking for an break up grade ,try VT brake rotors and calipers with the hub up grade kit ,then a 1 inch master cylinder,either early Commodore ,witch your car should have std ,,Or you can find a Vs power booster and modify a VT master cylinder ,you need to make the push rod hole a little deeper the same as astd VS type master cylinder ,you should have discs on the rear std with car ,I run this system on a vs wagon for 15 years worked well ,One other thing you need adopters for the VT master cylinder to the VL brake lines at the master cylinder ,that's if you don't have ball socket ends on the brake lines.

Yes had another mate just upgrade his vp 5l to ls1. He's loving it.

Sump fits fine and the others weren't necessary for this build luckily. Otherwise yes more $$ again. A few things I left out in hindsight

Yep. Don't have a compressor or spray equipment

Yes - with an OBD-II bluetooth adapter. Can get coolant temp, revs, speed (gps) and a few other things. No oil readings though.

🤮 🤮 🤮 🤮 🤮 🤮 🤮 🤮

Probably a track car, last I read in NSW it had to exit at least 500mm from rearmost door, Ute would be drivers door

Stop bending at the knee for government over regulations.

@@murrijuana2842 its guys like you that cause problems for others the law is the law you cannot fight the regulations or government

Just drilled a couple extra holes in the floor

@@MarslandMotorsport thanks mate

leigh Hawkett Yea pretty much every installation project on cars becomes a headache and financial strain. It’s almost always worth it in the end though :) I guess you just have to have the right frame of mind to do it

Yeah, it's a waste of money.

more money for conversion parts hahah

@@MarslandMotorsport all good mate, good job documenting the conversion

Covid tax making everything car related go up!

Nothing, didn't know it was a problem

That was the first ones that came out in vt and they recalled them to rectify

I think our one is a little later so should be ok. Else it may have been fixed already!

The vh K frame is fine if you don't want to run power steering, if you do than it is better to go later modal K frame and Power steering it is a bit better to work with than the early models P Steering .

@@bobbritten5673 Is that because of the steering knuckle and hydraulic lines and the extractor clearance problems? I want to build a turboed LS drivetrain for mine and replace the injected 355 so I won't have the runners heading down there, would the VH k frame still be a problem? I guess this is why a lot of people run the VL non powersteering racks. I would like to keep the power steering though, they are not overly light and convenient.

@@kingcosworth2643 yes for one ,if you are go to run the headers in a different place ,that vh frame will do the job ok with everything else ,

@@kingcosworth2643 vh still has the same problem, if you use std steering it is ok ,But with power steering not much room , VL and VN have a smaller power head ,VN and vh bolt up different ,this is why you might have to use a VN cross member and power steering this will connect to the original steering,,the pipe system is different to VK so you have to get VN V8 type pipes .

Yeah I hear ya!

Mike Cronis Haha nowhere near. Look up Left Hand Utes. You can get a 2017 VF SS Ute for about that price. A VU Ute is nearly 20 years old, you’d probably get 5k for it in the U.S if it was running.

And wtf has that have to do.with this footage??. Absolutely nothing. So stfu troll

mr323i, You do realize that this is track car right?.

How many people have died from a side exit exhaust?
