then there won't be plugs for the manual harness to clip into. vr's ran different harnesses due to the electronic kick down in the auto's. your going to have to modify your harness to get it to work

and youll probably be unable to register it because the engine was manufactured at an earlier date to the vehicle.

Rego shouldnt be a problem, im pretty sure that *no earlier engines into newer cars* rule only applies when doing a full on conversion. EG, cant put an ecotec into a VE. But seeing as the VR's came with 5 litres, shouldnt be an issue
