You need to fit them otherwise in an accident the pins could impale someone. Thats why they are bolted/welded in.

Dam that trim looks neat

Awesome…

 

 

So where are you sourcing the engine from? new or used?

[sands vsParticipant vs commodore View build HERE Member since: March 1, 2015 Posts: 619]

Well its the best built vr/vs ever build in my eyes and the detail and custom work is top notch and its all legal. Most people are not mad enough to spent this sort of time and money on a old commodore. I know the obsession I have a vs money pit lol

Be interested to see it all back together see how it looks

Back to smashing tires….

 

 

Will the new trans be painted orange too?

What pan are you using im running the later deep pan which helps as it hold more fluid .. Also can get the finned deeper b and m trans pans too

 

 

 

 

 

Thats mine b and m for V8 they called it… Works well cars copped torture with a stock trans and lived with fairly big hp and torque increase.  Apparently its the older fin type less efficient. Notice newer ones have thicker but less fins much better

 

 

If i had my time again id use this that better fin design and the inbuilt thermo fan this one…

Thanks mate, have you taken this on a decent drive. Keen to hear your driving impressions.

It would be fairly potent I would think?

So whats the plan run in the engine more and do a more aggressive tune?

Is it possible to do some sort of driving course to skill up for this kind of thing?

[sands vsParticipant vs commodore View build HERE Member since: March 1, 2015 Posts: 619]

Wow, its different but I like it!! Mate off the gun that looks pretty bloody damn good. Colour is such a personal thing anyway, as long as you like it. Not sure if you have done the LS conversion before, I did a write up a little while back summarizing what I had learned doing mine, not sure if its useful, here’s the link http://www.commodoresplus.com.au/forums/topic/vrvs-ls-engine-conversion-general-information/ Keep the updates coming

 

Have you amended this to reflect the new type of crs headers?
