[@scott.t1714]

Well done on the swap man I want to do the same to my vy just don’t have the cash yet sounds nice to

[@DoctorWEBB]

I would add an extra earth strap to that ignition module. They fry fast without a good ground. 👍

[@jackgilbert4862]

Sounds good mate have you done anything to the exhaust

[@Joedennett69]

It is a cat back system from a company called DEA in Victoria. Sounds the works.

[@jayhuitt5940]

Did you swap bcm from donor car or did ya remove vats Going down same path at the moment vr 5L into vs 6

[@Joedennett69]

Nothing. The bcm and the pcm seem to get along fine.

[@jayhuitt5940]

Did you use to the bcm from donor also?

[@Joedennett69]

As i said, I just plugged in the loom and used the v8 pcm. No issues.

[@Joedennett69]

No did not use the donor car bcm

[@olmatesavros8933]

I’m wanting to do this swap myself is it possible for you to write a list of all parts needed for the swap

[@jenasidemassicar420]

I love you fucking thank you i want more uploads please you fucking absolute legend ❤❤❤

[@tonyfay4055]

Needs Fe2 springs V8 badges . 👍

[@davidnguyen9409]

Awesome series mate, she sounds great! Gotta love a 304. The front end looks raised compared to the rear?

[@Joedennett69]

It is, soon to be adressed. It has low springs in the back and standard v8 ones in the front. If i put the low 6cyl springs in the front it would be on the ground.

[@PetesBuilds]

Hey mate, did you happen to measure the bores before you rebuilt your 5.0? mine are 10thou over so im going to get them rebored, cheers mate.

[@Joedennett69]

Yes i did they where a little over tolerance, cant remember how much. Was standard bore. Runs absolutely perfect have around 6000kms on it now.

[@abstract0014]

How much did the whole swap cost and how long did it take? I am interested on possibly getting a VR/VS commodore and v8 swapping it. What tools did you need for it as well?

[@Joedennett69]

I got a real good deal on a donnor car. Not many left. But all up to do the swap and freshen the motor probably cost me around 4-5k. I did the engine over about a month or so and the swap i did full time for around a week.

[@abstract0014]

@@Joedennett69 How about cost if you didn't refresh the motor? I assume the tools required are all the ones you used in the videos right?

[@Joedennett69]

Everything costs money. 4-5k is cheap for what i did. It will be different depending on many factors. I probably put 1k into the motor. As for tools just sockets and spanners, and a engine hoist. Try and plan as good as you can. The rule i use is what ever i estimate to spend, double it. Same goes for time.

[@abstract0014]

@@Joedennett69 alright thanks for the advice Ill keep that in mind as I save up

[@Joedennett69]

Start collecting parts. When you have all the bits, dig in.

[@thewholls7176]

Looks bloody good mate. You should be proud of yourself you done an excellent job you’ll get good service out of that for many years. If I was you I’d run a straight Valvoline SAE 30 running in oil for the first 3000 k’s

[@Joedennett69]

Cheers much appreciated. I now have around 2000kms on it already, driving the wheels off it. Did an oil change pretty much after 10 mins of run time. Another after 1000kms. Using Penrite hpr30.

[@thewholls7176]

@@Joedennett69 I forgot to mention have a look at a product called FilterMag. It’s a magnet that goes on the oil filter that’s reusable and it catches all the fine shit very well worth it. I’ve run them for years There’s generics around these days, but the original brand is about 80 bucks US I suppose

[@Joedennett69]

Ok il have a look

[@DoctorWEBB]

@@Joedennett69 keep using the HPR30 its good stuff! 👍 our Vagisil brand oil here in aus is garbage. I Wouldn't put it in my hard rubbish picked 4 stroke push mower. 😁👍
