Hey guys,
Have had a bit of a search around but could not really find what i am looking for so
thought one of you would definitely know!
I was wondering what the difference is between the vy R8 clubby engine and the vy ss engine.
Is it a block and heads thing or a bit more in depth than that.
For a bit of a back story i basically have an opportunity to buy a VY R8 Clubsport that needs a little
bit of work. That is fine because i can do it all myself.
The only unknown is the engine (condition, km) so am preparing for the worst if it comes to that.
I have a complete low km LS1 engine from a previous project so was thinking i could use that if
it came down to it, only thing is i don't want to turn an R8 into an SS if you know what i mean:hmmm:
Is there extra parts i would need to do the conversion from the SS to the R8 and if/when it is sold down the track does the different engine affect the fact it is a "HSV"
Just weighing up my options before i jump in and engine could possibly be fine anyway, just won't know till i go and have a look in a couple of weeks.
Any info much appreciated,
Cheers.
