- VY Ute 2003
I have a manual vy ute with 5 spd Getrag and standard ecotec. The whole drive train apart from the engine is fairly fresh. Ecotec is standard but at 400k and eventually will need to be replaced. I will be putting an 8 into it, yes the LS engines are the go but wanted to see if anyone has done a swap over to the older aussie 304? Are there technical reasons why its not a good idea as in ecu or wiring that would create a big issue?
I'm looking for constructive feedback please on doing this. The car is a hobby and I only want to hear back if you have looked into it and have some suggestions or experience to share.
