40564Ok guys I'm new to this forum and rather than trawl through the forum looking for info I'm hoping you can help me with technical info for my project I'm about to embark on.
I currently have a VTSS commodore with an injected holden 355 with a top mount whipple supercharger on it.
Now I want to buy a GU patrol 97/98 and put my motor and box in it and I want info/links or contact info for someone who's done a holden V8 conversion into a GU.
I've spoken to Marks adapters but really want to plan and get everything I need prior to commencing transplant.
The info I'm looking for is around basic stuff ie below;
What sump do I need or will my VT one fit?
Will my extractors fit or what ones do I use?
Can I use my VT wiring harness or is a VR/VS one easier? My VT runs a VS computer and kalmaker tune.
Does the GU patrol radiator suit 5.0lt or what one do you use?
Will I need new engine mounts and gearbox crossmember? I want to run my T700 box and I know I need a transfer case adapter.
Do the tail shafts need to be modified ie lengthened or shortened?
And will the diffs handle 500hp??
I don't want to reinvent the wheel and I'm trying to keep the cost to a minimum and do everything right the first time hence my plead for help for you guys. If there's anything else you can think of which will be helpful info that'd be great.
Kind regards
Shayne
