ls1 conversion into vt-vx wagon

[scrabet]

hi i just got a few questions about doing an ls1 conversion into a vt-vx wagon. is their any problems in putting one into a vt or would i better off starting with a vx and how much off the running gear would fit from a vx ss

i havent been able to find much info on doing a wagon conversion any help would be much appreciated

cheers reece

LS1 will bolt into a VT or a VX but you will need to change a fair bit of stuff including the K frame, radiator, wiring loom, ECU and so forth. You would need to use a tailshaft from another V8 wagon or a ute or a statesman.

it's a lot of work and expensive labour wise if you get someone to do it

basically just say you have a VX2 wagon

get a smashed SS Commodore and put everything you need into the wagon

This is a big project. If you can't get a hold of a VT/VX LS1 vehicle to grab parts from, don't even bother, it'll cost a fortune. You'd be better off just selling your wagon and buying an LS1 one.

LS1 wagons are very rare though so i can see why someone wants to do this...

[SirNemesis]

There are plenty of LS1 wagons around. Availability isn't an excuse.

ah cool so a ute tailshaft will fit.
ive already got a smasshed vx ss just need to find a wagon


how do i go about registering it from a v6 to a v8

i think it will be worth it and should be a nice project

Depends if you want to put in the hours to swap it all over, i was going to do the same thing but ended up just selling my v6 vx and got a ls1 vx for $6500 (sold for $4000)

dont care if the motor is shagged or what the interior looks like
