LS1 swapping an Aussie icon in only 3 weeks! VN Holden commodore
Who doesn't love a good old Aussie VN commodore?! Well we sure do, but they need to have the right engine. Dale and I were able to save this one from its former rotary pain by adding a real engine, the all aluminium 5.7L LS1!

      Rotas in heavy cars dont really shine too good. Ask Moff when he used to punt that Rx around the Mountain back in the 80s. Th Rx weight penalty was the death of that thing. In light chassis applications they work oretty good thou.
