    your best bet is to go to a wrecker or either look for a wrecked VL on the forums, ebay etc... or go to an insurance auction.

    is this engine for your VK?

    personally i don't think its a good idea, but its your car, i'd probably, well definately go for a 5L or an ecotec, the eco has similar specs to the VK 308.. you choice anyway chief. good luck with it

    its a hard choice, best thing to do is go around the my ride section and look for guys that have dome an rb and a 3.8 conversion and see if it is worth it
