Yeh you can get a decent vn/vp engine for $300 if u buy a wrecked car with good motor and sell the car. but after that, there is a few grand u will have to fork out to get it rwc and engineered, eg. exhaust, electrics, fuel lines & tank and many more things

not true^^^
http://allclassifieds.com.au/c/ac?a=vc&i=382130973 <<vp $250 good enigine.

there are tons of vn/vp 's popping up around my place for around the $300 mark...there just in crap condition and only good for parts cars.


errrrr that is a 6 cylinder...so that simply proves my point and agrees with what i wrote. Maybe you should read the post properly aye

Notice i said "VN/VP engines are cheap and they provide good performance for the cost." Which agrees with you.

I then compare them to the V8 engines saying they will beat any of the carbie V8's however the fuel injected V8's are a different story...but I then said they Fuel Injected ones which are in the VN and onwards cost much more than $300...

It might cost more than $300 but im just throwing this one out in the open, u lot can tell me if it is stupid or not but why not consider a VL motor with a turbo?

The only way you are going to get a decent motor and put it in yourself for 300 bucks is find a stuffed/stacked VL that has no damage to the motor or front end. Then swap everything over to the VK

yeah vn/vp motor would be alright for it, but if u were wanting an 8 get a 253, a great lil v8, and for u, someone who has to get there license would be a good starting point...

cheers, Todd

How about a RB20e or RB30e outa a VL. I'm puttin' a RB20 into mine coz there's soooo much you can do to make it run faster/better at quite a low cost.
