    Not a chance mate

    : different engine
    : different gearbox
    : different bloody car

    however, if you're considering dropping a VT ecotec into a VP, you'll still need a VT computer I'm pretty sure

    Don't listen to these noobs a vp ecu can run almost eny engine, Sammy has been driving his 202 powered Torana to work on one for weeks now . If you are putting the VT V6 into a VP using the VP gearbox it will work fine (once you get a map sensor on the VT motor). I expect that's what you want to do and so yep that's no problem

    it's a manual trans, so controlling that is no issue
