Quick gearbox question

[ProMaX]

hey all
just wondering wat other gearboxes from other commodores or other car companies can fit into a VN V6 SI

thanks in advance

EDIT: also what engines can you fit into a VN V6 SI? eg, VT engines, 350 chevs etc

[mouce]

With enough money and the right adaptor plates EVERYTHING can fit in. And I stand by that. As for what boxes just slot straight in without any changes whatsoever...I can't imagine that there would be too many. I mean, hell, even to change from auto to manual you need a different flywheel.

mouce is right, if you have enough money you could make a kangaroo powered vn. but seriously anything will fit. a vs-vy ecotec 6 bolts straight in, an efi 304 or even carby 308 or 253 will fit, you can get mounting kits for overseas models or ls1's or old carby big blocks or rotaries from castlemaine rodshop http://www.rodshop.com.au

a decent gearbox is a tremec tko t5. it bolts straight up to where a borg warner t5 came from. it has decent ratios and are un-believably tough.
a ZF 6 speed is the strongest box you can find for a commodore but id have no idea where to find em. maybe the rodshop but apparently they are rare as.

ah, the old bumb trick, the oldest trick in the book

well, what i can say is this

if you got money, anything can fit, but keep this in mind
to keep the car road worthy you can only fit a motor that the car came out with, i.e. the vns1 can only have a vns1 motor put into it, so you cant be bolting a 350 into it, or a 454, (ofcourse you can do this, but not without mod plating and a engeners cert)
