    Default What Would you do to my vh sle 308?

    ok im looking on plans on a engine rebuild / transplant diffrent motor(was thinking ls1 but cost is massive to do a good job of it) .

    it currently has,

    pacemaker extractors
    yella terra heads
    elderbrock performer manifold
    procomp cam (think the specs around a round simillar to a tow cam)
    21/4 to 3inch dump exchuast
    straight gas gra 480 setup (in mind turbo setup)

    ok guys i thinking of a full rebuild go twin gra throttle bodies manual 5 spd as is trimatic thought about histall but would rather a manual for the extra gears and more fun in my books

    i wanna make around 250rwkw so was thinking either strong rebuild at 308 and a bit of psi from a turbo or 355 stroker with a smaller turbo maybe motor will last longer

    ok guys throw some ideas at me thanks

    p.s current setup makes around 125 at the wheels (has enough grunt to fry second gear on a 3.08 ratio diff lsd not bad i thought )
