    You will need to also swap the wiring and ecu.

    all the engine wiring ? also would it be best to just leave motor and box etc on subframe to change over that way??

    well you dont actually have to change the wiring and ecu, it might be easier to though.

    you can get an ecotec to run off of the buick ecu but it requires some modding.

    otherwise a fairly easy swap, remember with the ECU from the VS you will need the VS BCM and its wiring loom plus the keyhead.

    inlet manifold is different, it cannot be swapped.
