    V6 Conversion Questions

    wiring in a bcm will be a massive headache you dont want. Go for aftermarket central locking much simpler. the oil pressure i am not surre of but i know its not just for the light because if you hook a tech 2 up it can tell you the oil pressure but you can simply run a t peice and use the...

    Vh sl/e 355

    That sort of power you should be able to get it down to very low 11's but the 3.55's will be hurting your 60'

    Vs ss to vh swap

    Actually you cant use the vs rack its to wide instead you should grab a vn rack which will work with the vs k frame and vl intermediate shaft as vp and onwards have larger splines on the rack. other than what darren said you can use pretty much all the vs gear apart from the diff as again its...

    Boost.

    I know another l67 running 12.77 as far as i am aware it has rockers, ported throttle body and elbow, 11.5 psi pulley, dual 2.25" exhaust, mace CAI and tune. Quickest way to make an l67 faster is lose body weight.

    New speakers have no bass.

    Not exactly true either bud, if OP use's higher efficiency speakers he doesn't need as much wattage to get the same result but the vx speakers are not that bad to begin with so throwing in some cheapo speakers is not going to improve the sound anyway.

    245/40R17 fit on VH

    you will find they scrub on the inside wheel well whilst going in driveways etc depending on how steep the step to how bad, the wagons seem to have shallower wheel tubs to the sedans. I used to have 17x8 hsv clubby wheels with 235/45r17 never scrubbed at all on out side but did as above inside...

    Trimatic to t700

    I honestly dont know why your finding it so hard i really think your over complicating the whole thing. With my th700 behind the 350 chev in the vb i used a v6 kickdown cable (its shorter then the v8 cable) with the holley bracket Holley Performance Products GM AOD Kickdown Cable Bracket#20-95...

    Slamming doors shut and subsequent dent

    If your doors need slaming then adjust the latches so you dont have to, i know some new door seals make it harder but you shouldnt have to slam them. With more dings then just the ones you talking about it might be worth look at getting them all done and a respray but if the car is pretty mint...

    Wheel decision

    You cant handle someones opinion when its not to your liking then don't ask for it in the first place. I wasn't saying your car is **** i said "big wheels look ****" i despise big wheels on early cars. Take a look at the trend of tubbing the rear to fit these stupidly large wheels under the...

    Vh drop tank

    vsclubby355 is correct totally different shape to a sedan tank as the wagon has the spare wheel well in the rear floor not on the side like the sedan.

    VB SLE Brake upgrade

    The change of booster is something i did on my old wagon as i was intending on upgrading to the vt brakes later down the track and with minor modification the vt master cylinder works with the vs booster saving you the expense of changing to the vt one.

    VB SLE Brake upgrade

    You can use the calipers but you will need vn v8 or vq discs as the vs wont go on they use a hub assembly like the vt. this will increase front rotor size to 290mm thus improving braking a bit. you can also use the vs booster and master cylinder but the vs uses the newer flare on the lines so...
