vs ecotec gearbox swap from getrag to t5

[Dj Lane]

i am currantly in the process of swapping my getrag gearbox to a t5 in my vs ecotec. i have the bellhousing to suit t5 clutch etc but i need to find a flywheel as the one i have is for the buick 3800 motor. Does anyone know where i could find a custom made one?

Why custom made? So long as the flywheel you have is to suit an 8 bolt crank (as compared to series 1 VN which ran a 6 bolt crank) then it will suit the vs ecotec. You just need a solid single mass flywheel to suit an 8 bolt crank V6. Series 1 VS also used the T5 box and went to the M35 Getrag with the series 2. Assuming you've got all the other bits required to do the conversion, beware that you'll also need to do a little wiring change to the harness to suit the T5 speed (and possibly reverse) sensor.
