    Default Ls1/2 Into A Vn/vp?

    Just wondering whats involved in fitting the LS1 or LS2/ 6 speed into a VN/VP?
    Is there any mechanical engineer that does mounts, etc, and the bottom line...
    Is it worth the headaches?

    Priced a 6 litre crate engine for 7400 which sounds pretty good, no starter, exhaust, ancilliaries, but for 4500 can get a 100 k 5.7 with all ancilliaries, comp and loom. If I went T350/400, how hard to remove the trans programming?(Or does it need removing at all?)

    Keep in mind things like the starter, headers, etc are no good to you.

    Castlemain rod shop is the one your thinking of i think
    I used to play sports. Then I realized you can buy trophies. Now I’m good at everything.

    Castlemaine Rod Shop. Yeah, I think thats what you meant didn't you?....
    Gotta give them a call and find out how much for the full kit which apparently comes with starter, engine mounts, trans mount and extractors to suit LS1 to VN/P.
    Thinking of putting a T350/400 behind it to save some cash/spend more on building up a stronger trans/ small stall, rather then spending the same for a standard 700....
