Ok... Well update for today.

Pickin up a 5ltr V8 kickdown cable
Some metal polish :)
And some other odds & ends

Also I'm pricing up some, HM VS V6 Extractors, Y piece, aswell as 2 1/2" catback with no rear muffler. Will just run a standard cat.

Cheers
MaT

My setup before rockers & before the blower goes on will be
:Ecotec Motor
:MAP instead of MAF
:VS HM Extractors & Y-Piece
:Hi-Flow Cat
:2 1/2" Catback With No Rear Muffler
:Tune

Hoping to hit 125+rwkw close to 130rwkw once I visit doctor bob in the future

Then once all thats done & dyno charts are done
:3.7 Diff Gears & LSD
:Better Air Intake Setup

Cheers
MaT

I'd like to thank VT1538.
I have received the adaptor he has made for me, for the Coolant temp sensor so I can use the VN one.

Cheers

No worries mate.
Mine should be back from the sparkies today where they have been making the rest of the cars loom. Hopefully it will be making some noise by Friday night so I can finish it for racing on the 14th.
I will also get some photos of the new sensor positions & the mods for the vacuum lines with part numbers so that you will have everything ready for your transplant.
Cheers MICK

when your finished, could you post some picks of everything you have done, replaced etc and what you have used as i now feel this conversion coming on but possibly into a VK racecar with a 5speed box:yeah: sounds good sofar, think i might also need to learn how to burn my own chips as there are very few people here who do that sorta thing
