308. Cost over $4000 just to get the kit to fit a 350 in a VK.

a 350 chev would be pretty nuts but im pretty sure it would cost a lot to put into a vk. all the modyfing etc. as the never came out with a 350 chev. what about a stroked 308? say to 355 or 383?
308, 350 chevs are hard cause some stuff is reversed for LHD.. but yeah.. 355 Stroker!!!
and u could always stick the efi top onto ur 308 shortblock for better fuel efficency.
atleast i think u can do that. someone correct me if im wrong.
cheers

injected 304. someone was telling me they have more torque than the 350 chevs. and even if they dont they are way eaiser to fit.

The 350 will require you to either stuff around with the steering; raise the engine up about 4"; remove the oil pump and mount it externally. The holden or a late chev like a ls1 would be the go as these have external oil pumps and that allows you to get the engine down nice and low in the engine bay.
well th 350 will cost about the same as the 308 here in nz and the price of gas going up they are becoming cheaperOriginally Posted by vh sl/x
but then again the 350 is lighter for its power compered to the 308
also strokers ain that cheap here in nz
here in nz all i need is the engine mounts up to scratch. brake and suspension upgrade.go the 308 stroke it to 355.....then u aint gota have giant hassles on engeneering and it will jus slide in
was always going to mount the oil pump externally and sit the motor a bit higher or a carb spacer to have the air cleaner out the bonnet
it will bolt straight in as i was told by a mechanic350 would go off mate
but i don't know if it would fit..

No they don't. They have a complete different engine mounts. Also the starter motor are on the wrong side which will cause steering issues

350- mounts,oil filter,brake booster, raidiator, all need relocating
Research has shown that men usually sleep on the right side of the bed.
Even in our sleep we happen to be right.

350 can be made to order for a right hand drive tho
as im going with the electric radiator for a bit more power and iknow about the sump. oil pump will be mounted extenally as well as the oil filter. as for the brake booster ill have to look into that
The SL/E Fanatic!
Yeah at a huge cost though

as to my other answer as im going with the electric radiator for a bit more power and iknow about the sump. oil pump will be mounted extenally as well as the oil filter and for the brake booster iv got to look into that but as its going to be a long project iv got the time to do it the hard way.

Could install a nice size radiator with twin 16ich or 18 inch thermos...
soundz good to me will look into the cost
electric radiator??What is that??They are what you use to warm the house not make ya car go faster
guess you the only one that dont know what i ment but a radiater that anit driven directly off the engine just off the battary so the engine doesnt have to work as hard to get the same power
