have you brought just an engine or a whole car?

easiest thing and cheapest is to buy a smashed car from the auctions

cos the k frames, crossmembers, brackets, wiring, computer and PIM, transmision, tailshaft, exhaust, radiator everything is different and you will keep spending more and more money to get all the little bits and pieces.

Would the exhaust from the ute fit the sedan ?

the whole conversion kit but the running gear hasnt been pulled out yet, so i rang today and asked for the whole car there gona get back to me.

exactly, tailshaft wont fit,

also, be careful cos you may have to buy a VX wiring loom, from memory and talking to another guy who converted a 6 to gen 3, he had to change the car body loom, due to the different in the wiring for the engine wiring to connect to.
