vn 308 into a vk.

[A-TEAM AUTOMOTIVE]

hey guys how yous goin? ive recently got my hands on a vn 308 engine that came out of an ss. i was wondering how hard it will be to drop him into the vk. ive seen vn v6's in vk's before and i was wondering if it would be just as easy or if there is any problems i should look out for.

As far as i know it's not a huge job but don't take my word for it.
Motor should be straight forward, just your mounts will change there i think.
Loom will be the other thing, did you get the computer with the motor?

[V-ahhh]

304 injected.....questions
near the end of the last page there is some tips by RVK 355 about what 'k' frame to use and ways arround changing the steering coloums

Have a look at my site, I did this conversion using a VS 185i Clubsport 5L & a T5 5 speed.

See my site for info,

VN Diff will be too wide for the VK but the 28 spline LSD centre will fit fine in a 78 series Borgwarner diff you will need 28 spline VL turbo or V8 axels though.
