If ls ecu & vn speedo are same signal then adjusting that way with gps phone app to check speed will be fine.

Assumed signal would be different the way vn-p speedo works.

I’ve been thinking of fitting vn speedo into vk cluster/speedo face then use either adjustable potentiometer from jaycar or another adjustable speedo corrector like what I got off pcmhacking that allows for the different signals & high/low increment adjustments for speedo.

Some cool threads about how to do it..save a ton of coin doing it…[Read more]

For the money bought 2 speedo correctors off ‘festy’ from for sale section of pcmhacking.net recently

$80-$90 with ton of adjustability.

Tried to link it but didn’t work,can read thread on product of it’s different uses.

For the money these are worth a try from pcmhacking peeps..bought 2 of them recently.

Don’t think it’s tunnel issue moreso guessing they’re not suitable for starter conversion so it would be like doing early days m6 ls conversion where they moved rack over & custom extractor..good excuse for 1 7/8.

I reckon it will be wicked setup especially after seeing workmate’s vf clubbie with cam + harrop 2300 still using stock auto.

Cool!!!

Been waiting to see 6l80 fitted to an early girl lol.

Looks like it’s really starting to come together now dude.

Will go harder next time at drags.

Reckon you should give it a go yourself…not hard just very time-consuming if want everything neat & hidden especially drilling holes & harness placement.

Vk wiring loom are messy & retarded compared to vb-h looms.

Fuse rail part that melts mostly to do with headlights could probably get away with unpinning it & using aftermarket fuesbox if…[Read more]

I’d like to know too for as it’s damn  good idea….astra pump be better other option manual vl rack

Though of a few places like near wiper motor or for stealth front bar under headlight.

Joint you bought engine off probably know qc of the crate engines can be questionable…bloke at cars under stars down here pulled his 454R down still brand new found swarf inside,uneven deck heights etc…only did that ‘cos he wanted to gas it.

Heard build quality of crate engines not exactly the best but that is shithouse for coin they cost.

Those pipes will be fine as long as they butt up against chopped core pipes….in fact that’s how lot of people changed heater cores by cutting pipes & sliding old core out then hose & 2 clamps saving heaps of time rather than pull dash apart & rest of it

Crap spot & angle the the way those pipes come out from factory…worse when working on…[Read more]

Sadly that’s part of the hobby we love having to navigate through con artists & shoddy work just to end up fixing it ourselves.

Makes it much harder to hand over the cash when finally do find good tradies.

Yeah know engine side of it can be done just not seen anyone fit that auto in smaller commo.

Trying to work out if it’s similar to manual cars that keep starter in factory position where they move rack over & custom extractors.

A lot of Elite Fabrication cars were done like that but all manuals.

Size difference from what I read is…[Read more]

Good thing you pulled it out for a look rather than leave it.

But yeah reckon most of it caused by tune first having it super rich glazing bores maybe even some extent washing the bearings too contaminating oil.

Heard of a few blokes popped headgaskets just to get their cars through epa/engineers.

Sucks bottom end couldn’t have gave got…[Read more]

This thing mini-tubbed?

Engine bay is looking good,keep at it.

Liking those lowe fab alternator bracket that hides it down on drivers side…bloke on torrie site did similar modding sss/atracing chev bracket $40(for long nose sbc w/pump I think)

That sucks as tp are easiest to get..read they’re not great for exhaust clearance.

Certain south africa & us cars had tthem…cant remember if they were 6cyl chev but 70’s cars so needle in haystack.
