    Hey Sly,

    Any Ecotech gearbox bell housing will bolt up to your Motor. However if its a VS one you will need to change the tail shaft as they are different. I would keep with your VT one as they are lot stronger built.

    Cheers

    i think he's got a v8 mate, just thinking....


    For the LS1 gearboxes, they should all bolt up the same, especially between the VT-VX, i'm not sure about the computer side of things though? these gearboxes are heavily controlled by the electrics. I'm sure someone here will have some insight
