Nice one. There can't be too many people who've dropped an L67 into a VN.. Most people would go the 8 cylinder route, or build the Buick engine that came standard in the VN. For the most part, I like how it all sort of bolts up minus some minor mods.
Those are nice headers. Happy dayz that they fitted with nothing more than some flange clearancing. Gonna be fun to see how much she makes on the dyno 😀
@2:40 you should have just used the drop saw on them right there and then, like the "necked down section action" LOL NEW sticker... its not the engine that's the problem, its the car!
Dude. you should have a Mace Engineering sign on the wall as well. as you seem to get a lot of parts from them and mention it everytime. Just a thought. awesome vids as usual. Stay positive in lockdown Bro. Always something to do aye ? Especially when you have cool cars to work on.
Another great video by you I love your attitude but I was not going to bitch if you didn't get the headers in I'm glad to see that car and get to get it a little bit keep up the great work brother this is Steve Anderson from Bonney Lake Washington State
I always put the driver exhaust header on before I drop in the engine, find it much easier or I at least get it in the bay before the engine. Hope it helps.
Scotty mate once you have made sure they fit, should be taking that blue so called heat proof paint off and get the real deal heat proof paint, which goes upto 1,5000 degrees F ,that way at least you have some protection from the extractors / headers IMHO, i understand you have budget restraints but hey for what i understand paint cans are not really that expensive? Also i believe that VN is from regional victoria as well i remember seeing the rego plate, lol :) also Scotty why not weld a valve type screw type end to the release pipe on the engine hoist that way you can turn it so much easier and with greater control, nothing worse than trying to turn a pipe around to try to control the lowering of a engine and transmission like that, just saying, so much easier when you weld a larger round valve type fitting on the nd of the pipe?
You are my brothers doppelgänger! Seriously. If you stood beside him at the front door. I’d be screwed. You even talk like him. It fucks with my head each time I see your videos.
Scotty you're going to get sick of replacing those cheap header gaskets... you can buy MLS from the GTP in the US. They are just like the LS gaskets. Can re-use for ever. We got ours from ZZP or Intense Racing. Maybe Steve at Mace has some. They don't leak or blow out like the cheapo ones.
My Pacemakers didn’t fit over the head studs on my 355 either. Apparently it’s a common issue, must be too difficult to change the flange to have a 3mm cut out.
I’ve had my l67 wh statesman for about 6 months now are they known for being shit on fuel as mine runs 15 per 100 but pretty sure it runs more then 15 as I’m only getting 400 to a tank and smells like fuel from the exhaust I’ve replaced every thing except the air flow senser?
how do you go around the wiring considering the l67 never came out in the vn , im trying to do the same in my vy cant find a vy loom for the l67 but i have a vt one and for the vt/vx the three plugs on the driver side of the engine where the vy dosnt have them so is there much stuff around or do i have to stricky get a vy one ?
Why not cut the original collector back towards the primaries so you only have one weld to do instead of replacing the entire collector? Piece of pipe and a flange done..
Can get em in from the top if u don't have access to a hoist, just undo steering shaft and drop the rack down , personally hate how paceys go around the steering shaft, it's such a pain lol 20 other brands out there that don't go around the shaft and work just as good ,why pacemaker why? Great headers but on 6 bangers they're a pain in the arse 🤔😂 And the damn slip joints on buick ones suck! 🤦♂️ they're forever working themselves loose. Thankfully going turbo soon and they can go in the bin 🤔😂
instead of jacking the car and motor up, could you just remove the steering shaft, fit the extractors then refit the shaft, seems an easier way of doing that particular c..t of a job
It's been a very long time since I had my L67 VS Calais but from memory it's to get around the steering shaft. It's a complete cunt doing the exhaust and spark plugs on L67 due to the coolant pipe going to the back of the block on the driver's side. Haha just got up to that part also.

just like the v6 vengeance days, i remember as a kid following the build. that's why i turbo'ed my VN s pack when i was 18. i love this VN
Slowly getting there Scotty. That v6 is going to mang with that 3" collector
Beautiful. Nice job mate. So glad you took this project on 👍

Check my page. ;-)
yesss been soo keen for this vid
All ways have issues with pacemakers never fits straight up
I hope the new episode drops soon because i cant waittt
Made great progress with it Scotty, can't wait till see how you went with the collectors!
"Gently caress into place"
With a Mallet 😅
.... with a Tonya
Oh Scotty. Beam me up bro. Love carnage with them weld sparks embedded in the adjacent windscreen... smiles 4 miles
Hell yeah! Can’t wait for the next instalment mate, she’s coming along nicely!
We want to see this supermang go!!
Thanks for entertaining me at work
Those are nice headers. Happy dayz that they fitted with nothing more than some flange clearancing. Gonna be fun to see how much she makes on the dyno 😀
Looking good crew - keep up the great work. CARNAGE
“There’s always something”
Too right my friend. There always is.
Very true.
How good is it when you swear at an engine then it falls into place.
commonwhores love been talked dirty too
This is why mechanics swear so often it's increases productivity 😂😂
Scotty, sparks over the duco and glass, thats sacrilege. 😲😲
Love this build Scotty, next episode plz!
Pacemakers are great, Aussie made for the win
hey scotty, would love to see you do another e series falcon again one day
The hoodie tassels next to the grinder!!!!! dude, you do not want that grinder in your mouth.
Those pacemakers look amazing on that L67 :D
Awesome content keep up the good work I'm so keen for the next vid 👌💯👍
Great video, need to see more of the valiant wagon
Hey Scotty, nothing worse than having your flange hitting your head stud nuts...... LOL
At least you didn't have to deal with a bag of snakes all twisted around each other to be equal length, great job
This is great scotty im hoping you race this at the drag strip in different stages
PACEMAKER make a really nice set of extractors, I've got a set on my Holden red 6.
@2:40 you should have just used the drop saw on them right there and then, like the "necked down section action" LOL
NEW sticker... its not the engine that's the problem, its the car!
Been waiting for this, Scotty! Can't wait to hear her whine like a banshee!! Then she'll be like the drawing!!! Cheers. Leigh.
12:13 Looks at imaginary watch.... Ive done this plenty of times lol
Good spot I didn't even see that :O)
Great video
Nice work. Wd40 that crane!

Been keen as 👍

I am.excited for the next video 🙂👍
keep them posts coming scotty the more the Merrier
The major version of a grand national
'Loosen tighten shaft slip it in' geez jus spit on it Scotty 😂😉
Huh?
I jus heard those words lots wasn't sure if u were purposely making innuendos lol everything except lubricate 😂
Mint mate 👌
I was expecting the involvement of a hammer. But I am impressed with the results
I always put the driver exhaust header on before I drop in the engine, find it much easier or I at least get it in the bay before the engine. Hope it helps.
Ps on those split extractors I leave of the single pipe to after its in the car.
Bavarian Hotspanner time!
Good on ya scotty
Can we not cover my Au in sparks please😂. Good thing I look out the passenger windows
Thousands of dollars of workbenches and trolleys and your still unwrapping stuff on the floor🤣

I had difliipo headers on my l67 in a vs , bigger collectors and primary tubes
i would check the windscreen on the EA you will find little pitting from your grinding for the exhaust i have done the same in the past!!!
Me too, killed the windscreen on my Torana doing the same thing 😂
It’s an AU not EA buddy.
Yes the boss will have to take some money out of his pay to pay for it. Also I hope the MX5 s duco is still ok.
My Pacemakers didn’t fit over the head studs on my 355 either. Apparently it’s a common issue, must be too difficult to change the flange to have a 3mm cut out.

Love those videos! This yank is hooked, what about some pretty co-hosts????
LOL, yeah we don't really do that. But welcome aboard
Scotty is pretty 😂
@@chrisfletcher3767 no kienin just needs to wear some skimpy shorts ....
um no no he don't i'm just joking
Scotty: I don't see there being any problem...
Car Gods: Here hold my beer.
LOL
how do you go around the wiring considering the l67 never came out in the vn , im trying to do the same in my vy cant find a vy loom for the l67 but i have a vt one and for the vt/vx the three plugs on the driver side of the engine where the vy dosnt have them so is there much stuff around or do i have to stricky get a vy one ?
what no Shifters today.......
what is this world coming to.
hope you guys stay safe over there in Vic,
Scotty hope the family is safe mate.
Awesome video but is there any info on the rival ea with the Barra swap. Or is it just me that heard something that was never said 😂
Will the VN bonnet fit over the supercharger, Scotty?
That is a good question. Dunno yet.
Looking good, please buy a new expansion tank!
Watch them hot sparks melt into the windscreen...
Try cleaning off the windscreen with a fresh SCOTCHBRITE pad.
There's so much dust the screen is fine
@@STREETMACHINETV how does the flap disc compare to grinder/cutting disc for melted sparks into the glass? i'm also hopeful dust has saved mine
A very random question! Are you hiring ? I would love to work in your shop . Cheers Travis
Insert Scotty "mounting a trany" jokes here......
The vn was originally a rb30 if you do research
9:50 😂👍
What transmission are you running? We only got the supercharged 3.8 in front wheel drive platform in the US.
4L60e came factory with the L67 here
Why does it look like the TROLVO fuel tank is blurred out at about 3:30 ???
What are the pieces that make up the motor mounts we don't have much here in the states for rwd 3800 stuff
The motor mounts are from Tuff Mounts
Just tap in, tap tap tap in.
Well fuk me it all fell in... im impressed. Had to delete a comment to say that 😂
Notice u swap a series 1 for a series 2 ya didn't have to get a stand alone harness ?
Why not cut the original collector back towards the primaries so you only have one weld to do instead of replacing the entire collector?
Piece of pipe and a flange done..
The bonnet clearance looks very close. 11:52
I thought you would have used a engine lift leveler so as to shift the balance point to facilitate entry and exit from the car...john Riverland
I have one in my personal tool container, but not at the workshop
When’s there gonna be and update on this been waiting
I've actually been working on it lately. Uodate soon
how much power is this thing expected to make that it needs 2 x 3" collectors?
Gotsta unleash the maaaaaaaaaanggg. Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaang. (Pop, knock knock knock)
Scotty you should have got Lukey headers because pacemaker Asha
We all know the EA will will the dyno test but not the mangmang test
Hope it gets a w2a or a2a intercooler
Dear Scotty, please remove that god awful front chrome bar:| Love the content btw!
Hey scotty. Im doing a l67 build and using a elite 950. Is there a way you could send me a base map?
Email me at: Scott.taylor@(nospace)bauertrader.com.au
Fytb🤙🏽 fuck yea the bros
Might keep up with a Gemini ))
where did you get the engine mounts from?
Tuff Mounts
Oops translates grind sparks. Same result thou. Ask me i know lol
Can get em in from the top if u don't have access to a hoist, just undo steering shaft and drop the rack down , personally hate how paceys go around the steering shaft, it's such a pain lol

Ouch Big Lockdown Nuts 🤣 Lol
U are more of a mechanic than I am... But y the hell did you remove the original engine... Arrrrgggg
AU needed a new windscreen anyhow..
it's too add sparkle in the photo shoots
instead of jacking the car and motor up,
could you just remove the steering shaft, fit the extractors then refit the shaft,
seems an easier way of doing that particular c..t of a job
With a hoist it doesn't seem too bad. Probably not so much the shaft but rack and various harder to move pieces.
Needs a pair of aluminum heads
I trust Scotland but when he goes HAM on the headers I whence..... coz Road Kill
As Chubs Peterson said “It’s all in the hips”.
The information is relayed too slow and occasionally repeated.
I'm watching at x1.75 speed to speed up the voids.
Get off the gear
I stopped watching when grinder was used next to other car.
Ohhhh.
a magnet will sort it out ,it'll be fine
O no that amazing show car paint job !!!!!!
Don't let the gate hit your head on the way out champ!
3" flow?....No PCM or a pulley? Good way to lose boost. 😂
Huh?
If it can't be fixed with a hammer or duct tape, it can't be fixed..
Flange
I wonder what the idea behind having one of the runners on the drivers side has a bolted flange just before the collector
Lol I just got to that part of the video.
It's been a very long time since I had my L67 VS Calais but from memory it's to get around the steering shaft.
It's a complete cunt doing the exhaust and spark plugs on L67 due to the coolant pipe going to the back of the block on the driver's side.
Haha just got up to that part also.
