    If you do an advanced seach and select "titles only" instead of all posts you will find HEAPS on info on this.

    In the end it boils down to being MUCH cheaper to simply buy a manual v8 commodore.

    $3000++++ to convert to manual and that again + more for the V8 conversion
    no longer a hoon by association - the commodore is gone

    Yes it can be done, I've done it on a VT (same driveline).

    There is a wealth of information on this.

    Refer here:
    http://www.ls1.com.au/forum/showthre...ght=vt+acclaim

    About half way down I describe my conversion.

    I'm still not finished as it turns out the auto & manual engines are balanced differently and my flywheel seems pretty shagged anyway.

    Budget atleast $2k for a conversion like this!

    Edit: Apparently linking other forums doesn't work.

    Second Edit: Apparently it's only that other red one that isn't liked! Understandable..
