L98 conversion on an Exec

[stocky]

I got a friend that is buying a L98 for his VZ exec V6. I'm not sure what comes with it, but i think it is engine, box, loom, ecu, k frame, and any other mounts. will he need anything else in order to do the conversion, such as dash clusters, sensors, or any other electronics parts?

[stocky]

wait sorry, i meant LS2. its out of a vz maloo. assuming theres not much difference anyway?

[andyman]

you will need, engine bay loom and dash loom, + all other mounting ancillaries

[stocky]

any idea if the dash cluster itself is needed? also, about the tailshaft. since its coming out of a v8 manual ute, and going into a v6 sedan with an auto, what needs to be changed? will only the front half of the tailshaft need to be changed to suit the sedan with the manual in it?

[andyman]

being a 4sp v6 sedan, you will need a new tailshaft, you cant split the 4sp tailshaft as they are a press fit unit,

so yes you will need the tailshaft to suit the v8 gearbox you have

hmm Im going to follow this with interest

the cluster i would assume that holdens or someone with a tech 2 could sort that out with an update

oh yeah, dash cluster will be fine, just a reprogram needed
