    If the engine and box are going you might be able to get both done at once pretty cheap.... i'd talk to Aaron or Shane at Commodore Frenzy in Kalman Drive Boronia (03 9729 8126), I've bought parts off them for years and had them supply and install my uni's and gearbox recently. I won't bother going anywhere else now. They also do mechanical work and conversions, engine/box swaps etc. You should see if you can get a price to upgrade to VS running gear if the rest of the car is in good shape, that'd be pretty nice, a VN with ecotec and electronic tranny, wouldn't be many of those around.
