no engineers needed for a 308, 304 you can get away with but its a grey area. there are heaps of threads in the VK section detailing how to go about the swap. try "advanced search" button to the top right of screen and try something like "308 conversion VK" itll have tonnes of results.

i personally prefer carbys. i love the sound, love how they carry on rattling and wobbling and generally running badly. some people love the smoother idle and fuel economy of efi. the final choice is up to you really. but yeah, nothin' sounds better that a big cammed carby 308 opening up. they just ROAR, like a lion i guess ;)

but smooth ride man! very nice indeed

ey boys thanks for the feed back, yeah well its kinda just what comes up ive seen a full conversion motor box and so on on here for 1800$ maybe something i might look into, also found a built black grp a 308 making 200-250rw for 2800 on ct but not to sure what i want yet.. i want it to basically fry first and second sound tuf pretty lumpy maybe 286 cam, big converter etc big exhuast.. but if efi is better on fuel and more reliable and goes harder dont see why i wouldnt get it? any ideas on fitting my supersports?

Mate I was going to go EFI but just love the iconic look of the the big carby and a big chrome air cleaner mounted in the centre, chrome rocker covers and extractors hanging off each side. My VK is going to have an old school look.

If you are going for the big wheels etc maybe efi would be more inkeeping with your look you are try to achieve.
