HQ fuel inject 308?,after not getting a cheap 350 chev Im asking for some advice.Ive got a hq panelvan and Ive got a t400 and a308 with 3 sets of heads (including big valve hq)and lots of other parts ,etc but I want to know whats the most basic fuel injection I can use to make it a bit quicker because of the trans and statesman doors(heavy).I think its going to be a bit of a slug with this combo.Any advice with thanxz,ps I am not into commodores or the likes so i wouldnt know about their engines but I think vn heads are the go apparently?...Thanxz...jim

vn onwards are in/ex in/ex all the way through
instead of in/ex in/ex ex/in ex/in
so not only flows better but elimates the old holden hot spot
thats y you need different extractors |

Yes, the whole top end from a VN-VSIII (except roller cam engines cam and lifters) will bolt onto any HT-VL 304/308 bottom end. This includes heads and cam. A better way to do it though is get a complete injected engine and use your sump, pickup and dipst |

Mid VR onwards. The earlier blocks have 5.0L on both sides (lke early blocks have 253 or 308 on one or both sides). The clearanced blocks have a blank pad on both sides.

Jim there is a guy here in Adelaide that will put injectors into your existing 308 Manifold and then run a commodore fuel rail to get the fuel to them. Then he uses a camira computer to control it all. This is a much cheaper option for getting fuel inje
