Yeah baby...! Just wanted to know some info off you guys...What will this all cost...? btw, I want to put in the manual aswell (it's currently auto atm but I'm thinking if I'm gonna go the 8, might aswell go the manual 2). What do I need...? apart from the motor and box of course...? which looms am I going to need and all of that sort of bizzo...? any help would be much appreaciated...Cheers

    P.S By the way...anyone wanna buy a V6 Echotech 3.8 and Auto Box Out of a VS...DONE SHIAT ALL WORK...166,000 kms...well looked after...never thrashed...nothin but Mobil 1 Supersyn put through it and never ever had a problem with it once...regular service, can show books and you can come and see it run IN THE CAR...make me an offer...

    It'll probably cost ya $10K to $15K by the time you buy everything and finish stuffing around.

    Not worth the time, money or headaches.
