yeah and that.
I was more referring to the engine side of things.

In regards to this if I pickup a VN 5 litre now from what everyones been saying that springs, brakes etc will need to be changed? If I get the complete VN are the brakes, springs etc all changeable to the VK?

Just an update on this one. I picked up a VQ Statesman 304 EFI with 4 speed auto (I think T700?), pacemaker extractors. The bloke had stacked it but all the running gear is sweet. Got her nice and cheap!

Bring on the conversion!

ahh good stuff im doin the same conversion on me VH but using a vr 5.0 with a vn loom and ecu. i didnt go with the t700 as they are a little awkward to fit into the cavity so i went with a t350 instead...scored a mint cond 5.0l for $1700 with only 110xxxkms on it and saw the car it came outta....have fun! itl take ya a while if your not cashed up.... and i keep coming across things that need to be done that i didnt expect.....ie pwr steering set up, shorten the tailshaft and other minor probs

yep VQ 5L engine, k-frame and steering rack straight fit.
Just need a VL intermediate steering shaft to connect the rack

and yeah, VN/VQ don't use a BCM like a VR/VS, so it's a lot simpler

It may not fit, some VQ & VP models had a 2 speed rack, the 2 speed racks have a square type head where the intermediate shaft fits where as the VN has a splined shaft same as VL etc.
