VL wagon with an LS swap would be a nice tow car…. By now you could do a basic LS1 swap in your sleep haha… stick a smallish cam in it to bump up the torque and it’d be perfect, could get the parts for bugger all as well, pick up a VX Berlina or Calais on the cheap and it’ll have almost everything you’ll need

I approve of this

I had ssl for ten years but removed them and went SL. Because  it wasn’t roadworthy, it rode like crap/crashed thumped, it had no suspension travel even with short bore shocks, it just pounded the strut top bearings due lack of travel and it cracked my strut top metal in the end. i lost count of how many times I did strut top bearings in the end. And after getting a defect warning I swapped over.  After I went to SL it rode better, handled better and didn’t bump steer also the suspension geometry was correct again. Hope this helps

I was looking at this kit the other day. I need to invest in getting my ac up and running.

 

Its the best way to do it from what I have seen. The neatest and if you cut the rail you will have no chance of getting it engineered

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

Ok so I have come across some information on a neat way to fit ac into vn-vs without rail mods or running the ugly top mount ac with lines also running across the top. The vs 5 litre hoses run to that side, so I just used that stuff and changed the ends, it was super easy”
