vt to vy delima

[micklekay]

I have a 2000 vt ss that is poking out 302kw at the back wheels. the car recently had an arguement with a pole and lost. the motor has had a lot of money spent on it and has only done 12,000 ks and would like put this engine and my shift kitted trans in to a 2004 vy ss rather then having to go through the rebuild process again. if any knows if this is an easy task ie; are the computers, mounts, wiring looms etc all the same or similar. or is it even practical?

dont think it can leagally be done.. can put older engine in newer vehicle... unless you engineer it.. not sure about nz.. sot sure about any of it really

I too have heard that you cant stick an older engine into a newer car. However, might be worth considering the engineers cert seeing as you've obviously spent a lot of money on the engine.

the certifacation is not an issue over here as the motors are both ls1's.

Everything is pretty much identical as far as I know. It's only in the VZ that they started changing gearboxes and stuff.
