v8 conversion

[Beav]

Hey guys, I'm thinking of taking the vr off the road to use as a project. Was wondering if someone could give me a rough price on a ls1 conversion, and running gear?
Vr a v6.
Thank you

usually around 10K
depends how much work you do yourself, what sort of money you pay for the engine & trans etc

Or could just do the.simple 5L conversion..

 

[VR38]

Or just buy a VX.

 

[Beav]

5l conversion will be a lot easier and cheaper

 

[Ian Johnston]

Which ever way you go, try and get a whole car(wreck) for the parts. Makes it so much easier, and a lot cheaper.

 

[Beav]

Alright thanks mate

 

[Beav]

Would a 5L bolt straight onto my gearbox

 

[Wombles]

Nope. 5L and 6 cyl have different bolt patterns.

ls1 could be done cheap as these days. parts are cheap and there is more then enough info floating around the forums. If you can do all the work your self and source cheap parts. I reckon you would be easily able to do it for under $6000.
