Love Black SV8s shouldn't have sold mine but kids etc, Love the drive feel of the VE chassis but the VY was a more fun drive with 232/234 cam and 3,9 diff

The 238/240 would be a tight fit, 239/247 needed flycut (shaved heads)

Even tighter when we took 40 though off the heads, pistons had to have valve relief machined in.

Yeah it's a pig under 2k being a manual but it's worth it for the feel when the cam comes on. :D
