VH motor and trans into VC

[Joes_meat]

I've got a VC Commodore with a buggered motor. (202, and trimatic.)

I've just bought a VH engine and transmission. (202 and trimatic.)

I just wanted to make sure that it'll fit with no problems, and if I can use my old transmission because I know it's in very good condition. I know they're the same engine and trans, but that may have different emissions control and what-not.

Is there anything extra I need to do, or will it just slot in and hook up no worries?

Everything should be exactly the same, the VH is just a face lifted VC

The VH had the red motors, won't the engine sizes be different?

[SL/ENUT]

VB had the red motors. The VH had blue motors, the same motor and all as the VC

[Goon]

The red motor was in the VH v8's?

[SL/ENUT]

Nope, again VBs got the red motors. The VC got the upgraded 6/V8 and the whole motor was painted blue, the same for VHs. I think late VHs did get the black version of the 6/V8s.

Cheers guys. I was pretty sure it'll all fit, it's just a few vacuum hoses are different from my VC to my mates VC.

Looks like I shouldn't have any trouble.

Will it be easier to stick the engine and trans in as one piece with an engine crane - or won't it fit? Anyone tried this?

If there is enough clearance.
