    TD42t to LS1 Conversion

    G'day guys,

    It's been a while since I've been an active poster on the forums but I'm still an active reader. I thought I'd post up my current conversion to help others in the future looking at doing the same thing.

    After a suspected head gasket/head in my TD & constant driving alongside my brother in his LS GQ I've decided to throw a worked LS1 into my GQ.

    I found a conversion in Brisbane with all the Marks goodies, rebuilt and worked LS1 & strengthened and built 4l60e auto.

    Engine: VY LS1 making 300rwhp on 33s in a GU.
    • Comp Cams cam
    • Precision Roller Rockers
    • Beehive valve springs
    • Aeroflow fuel rails
    • Ported heads
    • Upgraded injectors
    • Genie extractors


    Auto: 4L60e
    • Shift kitted
    • Upgraded bands
    • Pump upgrade
    • Converter shop converter
    • B&M Shifter

    We made a whirlwind 4 day trip to Brisbane and checked out the motor, it was just as described so I took it home with me. Over the last couple of days I've started the swap so I'll post some photos as I go along.
