    Default Ecotec into a VN??

    Hey all i was just wondering what work needs to be done to fit an ecotec motor and auto gearbox into a vn commodore? can i retain the vn tailshaft or will it have to be a custom one? how different are the wiring looms? do i have to use the ecotec k-frame or will the vn one suffice?

    thanks in advance,

    cheers

    okay so judging by the responses and my own research i twould appear that you can indeed fit an ecotec in without too much trouble, now i have another question, i figure while i am going ahead with my conversion i may aswell tamper with the diff so my question is can i fit the LSD centre out of a vl turbo diff into my vn diff? cause i think an up in the ratio would make it even more fun LOL.

    cheers
