So I’m on the right track……

It’s going to cost the same for a new gear set, so might go for the 3.7’s

Im a bit worried that if I went with 3.46 it might not be quite enough

Just a 4L60e from the VX

Also what ratio diff gears would you suggest?

i was looking at either at 3.46 or 3.73, I don’t do much highway driving but my VS has 3.9’s and they make the engine rev a bit on the highway, which can irritating after a bit

i have a LSD that I removed from the same VX SS as the LS1, but it’s only 3.07 so want to put something in it, and just…[Read more]

the engine is out an 2002 VX so from what ive found it should already be the LS6 manifold

might give it a miss for the time being, and if i decide to do something i’ll  just get the 241’s worked on

Picked up a few more bits in the last few weeks

out of curiosity are 243 cast heads a worthy upgrade over 241 heads.

My original Plans is to keep the 241 heads, and keep them stock, to keep the overall cost down. Im keeping the compression stock, and running the Standard 2002 LS1 manifold.

I have found a few sets of the 243’s for sale lately,…[Read more]

thanks for that renno, had a look at the wiring between the V6 and V8 Models, and there pretty much wired the same between the VY and VZ, both models have a the 4 pin plug for the V6’s, and the V8’s both have 5 pin plugs. just looks like the V8’s have and extra wire which is spliced off one of the existing fan wires further back in the loom, so…[Read more]

ok thanks for that

looks like i have sourced a set out a VZ SS ute (with the larger motors) which i grab next week hopefully

as for Waterpumps i’ve used Genuine or GMB water pumps, but genuine ones are normally double or triple the price and both my VY V6 and VS V8 Have GMB ones currently fitted, I intend fitting a GMB one on the LS1 while its…[Read more]

Not quite, they look like aftermarket ones, trying to work out genuine ones as most second hand units ive found are genuine

According to Holdens part numbers and info on my workshop manual, they said there are 2 version of each for sedan, wagon or ute excluding models i mentioned above, as they run larger fans again, one is an early production…[Read more]

No wasn’t…[Read more]

photo will suffice at the moment, as far as i can tell the fan motors are smaller in size, and the small fan on the V6 type has the wiring running the opposite direction around the motor as the V8 setup

reason being is……..i picked up a set tonight off gumtree suppose to be off a VZ SS and i even questioned it while i was there as the fan…[Read more]

just wondering if someone would happen to have a few photos of a VZ V8 thermo fan, tried googling it but getting mix results, just trying to check the diffrences between VZ V6 and V8, as the fans as very similar, they have the same shrouds, just different size motors
