    Mate

    The VL tank will bolt straight in no mods required.

    The VN and later tanks you have to cut down the fuel filler neck. Easy 5 minute job.

    THe left strap on IRS cars are different.

    I have a VR tank in my VB.

    You will have to run a fuel return line as well.

    how much has it cost you so far for the LS1 swap? I was thinking of the same conversion...

    are you going man or auto?

    Also what size is a standard VH Tank, i was thinking of putting a VS 80Ltr in just for longer range..

    Thanks
    Just my 2 cents worth...

    standard tank should be 63 mate,
    costs so far
    car $1500
    body parts $200
    ls1 and auto box incl all wiring control units fans and rad $2500
    conversion kit $800

    still got about 10k to spend but this includes full spray, new rear end, brake upgrades etc

    i would say you could do the conversion for about 6k if thats all you were doing
