    Default Will VR motor bolt upto VP auto gearbox?

    Hi,
    I just bought a VP berlina LX for $200, but the motor is stuffed (has done 570,000km) and I can sorce a VR V6 motor cheap, so im just wondering if anybody knows if a VR motor will bolt up to a VP auto gearbox and also if i will need to use a VR ECU and loom?

    Thanks VPIIcam
