No. Only the Series 1 VN's got the Buick. After that they changed a fair few things (inlet manifold, cooling system, block).

The block is still a Buick Aido, they still imported them from the USA. Wasn't untill the Ecotec that Holden cast there own heads and inlet manifold. Its all in the Commodore Lion King book.

So whats the deal with not being able to use the 4.3L stroker crank in a S1 VN?

Cause the S1 VN V6 is a much older cast block than the rest. It can't be machined for the stroker crank.

Why? I thought you said it was the same block as the S2--->
