    it is possible to put an ecotec in, with a few mods. Have seen a VN with a ecotech.

    Get in the ute
    squeakotec into vn should bolt right in physically, with some small modifications to the air intake pipe... but i'm sure you could use a vs one

    throttle cable might be a bit longer on the squeakotech too..
    and radiator hoses will be different too maybe?

    run the VN computer and have it tuned to squeakotec specs.. this will save you stuffing around with the newer ECU and BCM and other thigns that it will have an effect on.... you might be able to get away with using the VN loom with some small modifications so plugs can reach sensors?

    Other than that, it should be pretty straight foreward? any parts that you need could probably be found on a VS?

    Luke.
