Aaaah the 383 stroker engine mmmm.
Would love to see some pics if you have any,via pm?

Back on topic with the vr,have you had any problems with the diff/box at all?Im wondering whether to go for a peloquin diff or leave it standard.Are you running a standard clutch?

Yeh no worries

The box and diff are fine but the standerd clutch takes a beating and slips on full throttle

I'm going down the v5 box route as it has kinda LSD in it already and the 6 speed will be nice for motorway driving as the ratio is a bit short for my liking

I'm not 100% sure but I'm sure I've seen it done

It will require a bit of research :)

Just wondered, I am sure VR's from memory have a different shape bellhousing.
