- VY II Berlina
I'm dropping an L76 V8 into a VYII Berlina which came with the standard 3.8L V6.
The V8 is rear-sumped (came from the US) so doesn't fit due to hitting cross-member and steering rack; I have a front-sump on order. It will take 3+ weeks as back-ordered.
The V6 is already out of the car and the V8 hanging in the engine bay. What I want to know is if the engine mount locations on the chassis of the VY are the same for the V6 and V8? If so, I can remove my rear-sump pan and fit the engine while I wait for the new sump. However, if the engine mounts on the chassis are in a different place I'll need to wait for the sump to properly locate the engine. Anyone know?
