L98 Conversion into VX

[snowybill]

Hi guys, has anyone heard of someone putting an L98 into a VX ? If so, was it a lot of trouble? and did it run up a big cost ?

Cheers, Snowy.

it would cost a bit atleast 10k if you did all the labour yourself

4500 engine
$500-1500 loom and ecu mods off a ls1 (really not sure about exactly what you would use)
$2500 t56
$750 clutch
$100 engine mounts
$250-600 tail shaft


thats kinda ruff costs on what i have seen prices on things.

does your VX already have a LS1?
if not it wouldnt be worth it
do you want to do the conversion your self or drive in drive out package

you could get it done drive in drive out for around 9-$10k

nah mate i have a VL, but im kinds considering of moving away from the VL scene for a while, and wanted a bit of power without turbo. And yeah, id be looking at a drive in drive out package. 10k sounds pretty good to me. Cheers mate, ill look into it a bit more.
