One hell of a lot, apart from the obvious (engine, trans) you would need computer, diff, suspension. Basically take the guts from a VZ for example, and fit it to a VN shell.

Some guy in NZ did it, full conversion, cost around 10-11g all up. Just buy a VY wreck and do the transplant. Not easy, but anything's possible with the right amount of time, money and patience :)

nope, dont bother, Sell what ever you have now and trade up to a VT II SS or soemthing with an LS1, you can pick up up for around 11-12k anyday of the week..
Cheers
