Welcome to Just Commodores, a site specifically designed for all people who share the same passion as yourself.
What brakes and suspension tail shaft and diff do u use for this conversion? Can u swapp most of it from vt ss to vs calais?mate the conversion kits out there are not very good. **** does not line up properly. You are by far better off making your own kit up. Heres some of the things you will need. You will need a v8 k frame and powersteering rack from a vn-vs v8. Vn-vs ls1 Tuff mounts (these are the best mounts on the market).TUFF MOUNTS LS1 in VB-VS COMMODORES
You will need a starter motor conversion kit ( not sure which ones are the best as i have not used one in my conversion becuase i went for a turbo setup. do some research befor buying one) Holden VN-VS Commodore have somne stuff that would be handy.
You would need a nice healthy ls1, wiring loom and unlocked computer.
Also you would need to decide which gear box you wanted to use. If you want manaul stick with the six speed if you want auto a turbo 400 would be best. With the ls1 auto you will need to mod the trans tunnel. you would need to find someone to mod youe wiring loom to suit your car. there are a few ppl who do this around (research)
You also need some extractors a few places and doing off the shelf headers now but also have not heard good things about these. Pacemaker have just bought out a set which i think would probably be your best bet. Unless you get some custom ones made up.
There is lots of other stuff you will need also Like brake upgrade, suspension uograde, new tailshaft. the list goes on.
Dont expect any change from 10 grand if you can do alot of the work your self. But it will be worth it.
