I don't think there would be too many things to change. I had a look at my VX and my sons VY and they are virtually the same , even the sumps look similar

The motors are exactly the same. Should be a case of direct plug and play.

the loom is probably a bit different but a competant sparky can cut and shut

Loom will be wired differently to the ECU but the plugs in the actual engine bay will be the same. Won't need to swap the ECU for a VY motor to work in a VT though it just won't have the few extra kilowatts the VY ECU gives it.

the only things different thing between the engines is the sump

sorry for noob question, but engines are the same, could you simply put a VY ecu in, and it will give your VT motor more KW?
