Dropping a 308 in a VL

[Strider14x88]

G'day all, I've currently got a VL with the holden 6.
I was wondering if anyone knows what needs to be changed if I were to drop a 308 in it.
And perhaps a rough estimate of cost.

dont you mean the nissan 6

[Strider14x88]

If I drop injected, don't I have to have a roadworthy test? or did they come out with injected?

[Strider14x88]

No, pretty sure its the holden 6, which isnt worth doing up. Where as, if it were the nissan 6, I'd keep it.

read around should be a thread on it

Most 5 litre VLs had a 4 barrel carby. The Walkinshaw VL had fuel injection with twin throttle bodies.

vl's didnt come out with the holden 6 mate, they are a nissan rb30 with a holden logo on the rocker cover.

[Strider14x88]

no? there's the holden and the rb30. There's almost 50kw difference. This is my first VL, and even I'm aware of that.

[VL_5SPEED]

No. They were nissan rb30e or r330et or carby 5l or walky 5l or rb20e in nz. Theres no aussie 6 in a vl

Strider is correct
the last Holden 6 was fitted to the VK.
the VL 6cyl was powered by a Nissan sourced 3L RB30
