Ok got a new motor for my car a vn series 1 motor that has done 120xxx k's im going to convert it to a series 2 motor and i was thinking off painting the motor like the motor in the clip when its black YouTube - VN / VP Commodore Head and Cam Engine swap will post pics soon also have extractors and 2.5 sports exuast for new motor![]()
i like the looks of that motor, looks clean, should also do the red 3800 aswell make it stand out abit more, so your putting all the s2 heads manifold on the s1 motor? dont tell me your gonna keep the s1 manifold that has to go.

gunna use a series 2 manifold and convert the heads to series 2 just gotta drill a few holes and i have rocket red engine paint in the shed so i might paint it that color with black pullys
What holes do you have to drill? if you put the s2 heads and manifolds on there isnt any drilling needed, but if you use the s1 heads and put the s2 manifold on you will need to drill a hole in each head.

I got told that i would only need to drill one hole in the front drivers head and i dnt have series 2 heads because im putting a new motor in mine coz i cracked one off mine![]()
ah ok, nah its 1 hole per head. in s1, if you are drilling the hole, just get the manifold gasket and use it as a template you will see where you have to drill the hole. then just hook all the water pipes up like normal s2 and should be good.
