    Default VN engine change.

    I have two VN commadores. Ones an auto and one is a manaull.
    my manualls engine is ****ed and i want to put the auto engine infront of the 5 speed manuall. ive herd that they bolt up differently and you cannot do it, maybe because this is because of the belhousing? do you guys know anyway around this maybe their is a conversion plate or something i can buy.

    series 1 the end of the crankshaft is different so you can't fit a manual onto an auto motor and visa versa, not sure about the series 2 motor but I think you can.

    Different bolt pattern on the crank I'm pretty sure. There is some kind of adapter plate available from CRS.

    Have a read of this - The complete Vn-Vr Manual Conversion Guide.
