Engine prefix number

[nathan_carnut]

I am about to purchase a 1998 VT HSV GTS. I have checked the engine prefix and I don't think it stacks up. Could someone please give me some insight into VT 5.7 ltr stroker prefixes?? I have VP as the first letters, however under a vehicle check I ran, says it should be SP??

Welcome
The info I have would suggest that is infact the correct engine prefix for a vt 5.7 stroker. Here's a few vt numbers (originally posted by 88greenvn)...

VT 3.8 VH 700757 - 53817
VT 304 VM 654594 - 671827
VT 304 195i VN 651707 - 675361
VT 5.7 NON GEN 3 VP 652322 - 670743

Hope that helps.
Cheers
