I dumped the rb30e for a kiwi spec rb20e yip 3 litre to a 2 litre. but hold on 2 ya panties it was a temporary measure. I scored a mint rb20e 5spd vl wagon for 100bux with no rego. At the time i had a vl rb30 auto sittn in the driveway with(wait for it)a cracked head. in the interest of havn my wheels goin round i ripped out the rb20. the gearbox and clutch was on the way out so i drove the wagon untill the gearbox finaly shat itself ( land of the long white cloud now you know how lol ) so i dropped the 2litre in with the auto in my sedan now most people will be saying that was a step backwards but theres always 2 sides to a coin. now i have a economical sedan that my missus can drive since i got in the **** for the long white clouds.i tell ya theres no such thing as a high speed getaway with a f**fed clutch plate.an i also have the 3 litre block on a engine stand stripped,honed,balanced,blueprinted,an rebuilt wit new bearings,rings gaskets ect after a good soak in a chem bath. ive also added a few extra bits including a lightened flywheel(yip gunna be a manual) custom sump, new pulleys, new 120 amp alternator,rebuilt powersteering pump an cooler. and theres countless other bits that have been tweaked to sum degree. but still no head an the inlet i havnt touched yet cause im undecided on induction an how many cams i want so please any advice or cheap bits out there please leave a note an anyone that has a comment good or bad leave it here. btw the vl sedan its goin into is a 88 vl berlina its on kings with short shocks. its got a panhard rod an a strut brace its only on 14 inch roh chromies at the mo with 185 on the front an 205 on the back its painted in spies an hecker custom blue green.(it changes depending on light) its got honeycomb louvres an side louvres no kit yet but has a small scoop an spoiler. the interior has been painted mullberry mettalic an has a race wheel a few xtra gauges(vaccum,amp,oil temp,trans temp,fuel press,rpm) the cabin is lit by ultra violet neons that react to the air brushing on the roof lining. so if you can tell the new engine needs finished an this will be a mean holden. im doing exhaust at the mo which will be 2an a half inch stainless wit 1 muffler as we dont have cat converters over here an will dump out the pacemakers already installed. i also have a nolathane kit to install but cant be bothered takn the suspension to bits AGAIN. the only other thing left is brakes( i still have drums on the back NOOOOOOOOOO.. ANY WAY I HOPE I MAKE SENCE AS ITS LATE AN IM TIRED AN SHOULD GO TO BED. please give me feedback. am i headed in the right direction im in the deep south u see an dont have many vls to look at for motavation. i need aussie input.................zzzzz zzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzz
