    Vp v6 will not start

    Not sure if fuel pump is working but the gas definately is and its still not starting So im assuming that the main problem does not lie with the fuel pump The CAS is the one down near the harmonic balancer right? How does one go about checking it?

    ls1 or 2 into a vs commodore

    I have done it It really isnt THAT hard It DOES cost a LOT more money than just buying a VT s2 with an ls1 in it especially if you dont cut corners/ arent 100% sure what your doing.

    Sounds like either: your/his speedo is wrong, tacho is wrong OR someone put diff gears and a speedo correcter in yours before u bought it. Sounds more like his tacho/speedo is wrong coz im pretty sure they dont rev at 1500 at 100 normally? at least not in a v6
