    Thanks mate. Only took me two weeks to find it too! There isn't much manual Holden Commodores in Townsville in my price range so I was lucky

    These motors will keep on going as long as you do the right thing by them with servicing. Personally I'd prefer to buy a rebuild kit and rebuild the existing motor if/when it does give any troubles if I was in your shoes.
    VX2 Executive Sedan - 3.8L Auto (for now)
    VT SS Sedan - Supercharged V6 Auto (Genuine L67 SS)
    VN SS Sedan - 5.0L 5 Speed Manual (Currently Balga spec waiting for panel and paint)
