    Default Swap everything from a VP Senator into a VS Executive mechanically.

    Is it possible to pull a VP 5 litre out with the transmission (including the front end, like k-frame, strut towers etc.) and bolt it into a VS Executive?

    I think you run into trouble with the wiring up fo the tranny - the VP is cable and the VS is electronic.

    but I'm sure people have a fix

    Please tell me you have a VP Senator which is a complete and utter wreck yet miraculously all the gear required to transplant survived.

    Well, heres a quick lesson.

    VP Senator = Somewhat rare.

    VS Exec = Rubbish.

    first of all don't screw with the VP if its in good running order, they are rare. if its a written off doner car, you can't put an older motor into a newer car. its not allowed
