I'd be going vt-vz with an upgraded master cylinder/booster set up.

vl turbo-vn/p 290mm discs with alloy caliper & braided brake hoses will bolt straight on.

vt conversion is adaptor hubs,brake hoses,vt discs & calipers then modified vt booster & m/cyl with adaptors or can vs booster with vt m/cyl.

I've got standard brakes on vh sle as in v8 booster,270mm disc/caliper set it stopped surprisingly well for big cammed stroker...better than vp ute with baby cam 304,lighter weight & bigger 290mm brakes

Yeah sweet. Its in the workshop atm getting the 308 stroked out to 355. Do you think the stock brakes are adequate for the extra horse power?

stock brakes?
whether 4, 6 or 8 cylinder, just fine and dandy up to .. about 60kmh :rolleyes:
you wanna go faster (most do) then a later VN/VP V8 setup or later VT/VX swap is a must :cool:
