- VZ V6 Wagon / VR 94 S-Pack / VZ 6Ltr Thunder Ute
Hi,
I recently came across a VZ LS2 6Ltr with the 6 Speed, Full Loom / Computers / Headers etc due to a friend writing off the rear end. Everything in the front is fine, starts, runs etc, just twisted the arse end and he couldn't be bothered dealing with it.
I have an immaculate VR S-Pack (V6 unfortunately) and i have been looking into doing a full LS2 conversion. From what i have read this is what i believe is required:
new engine mounts
new gearbox crossmember
relocate the alternator and starter
different headers or to modify the current k-frame or purchase a vr v8 k-frame.
Im not worried about the electrical side of it as i have an auto electrician friend who has told me it'll be no issue for him to tap the new loom etc into the existing loom.
However i've also been told the LS2 bottom end would line up with an LS1 conversion kit but i don't really have the $2,350.00 for the kit at the moment, if i have to put the project off for a while and save the $ then so be it but just trying to get a few diff ideas.
Has anyone attempted this job before and if so what would be your recommendations.
Thanks in advance
