    [WA] '97 VS Senator 355 Stroker

    When i bought the car it was missing interior parts everywhere. The seats had tears in them everywhere as someone had broken into the car and slashed them. Well beyond repair plus the centre console was ruined, especially the wood grain. I had a wrecked clubsport so i swapped the interiors

    Transmission Swap (Compatibility)

    incorrect as some are the same. i should have been more specific in my post. A 5 hdd from a vs (13 pin) should be totally interchangeable with a 6hdd and a 7hdd. However a 5hdd from a vr (12 pin) is not the same and would not be interchangeable without loom and computer modifications

    90mm throttle body on 5.0L?

    little bit of a dig but is the mace 70mm throttle body worth it on a 355 stroker running the standard manifold or is the standard 65mm throttle body sufficient? thinking about the 70mm for my VS Senator
  13. Brendo169

    Transmission Swap (Compatibility)

    try and find a 5hdd, 6hdd or 7hdd. that way your not going to run into any surprises and it should be a simple swap and drive deal

    VS Clubsport Body kits.

    just a heads up that some of the fibreglass replica kits are quite weak and dont fit without a little bit of tweaking if i was you id be looking for something genuine as the plastic tends to flex and bend (where as the fibreglass just cracks)

    Stroker Qs

    the torque and power will be mostly decided by cam, compression ratio and head work i would have thought...those things with a good manifold and free flowing exhaust

    Stroker Qs

    i put a lunati cam in my 355 but its running stock manifold. its an incredible cam for low down power...its pretty much a crane 286 with .005 more lift on both exhaust and intake
