    ok i have a manual v6 vn and blew the motor. Went to buy another motor and all wreckers are telling me you have to buy a manual engined vn coz the cranks are different and some other bits. The worst thing is they are rare as. So what do i do?

    You have 2 choices, keep looking for a genuine manual v6 engine or use an auto engine with a manual flywheel adaptor. The adaptors are available from a place called the castlemaine rod shop (03) 5427 2853. The only difference from a manual engine to an auto engine is the crankshaft.

    If its a series 1 Vn then yes, The crank is different.

    If its a series 2 its a straight swap, Just upgrade to a series 2 and get a delco tune, You can choose a motor from a Vn series 2 -- VR series 1 Auto or manual doesnt matter, all have an 8 bolt crack, oposed to the 6 bolt crank on the VN

    Just get a new 8 bolt fly wheel and away you go :D IF the series 1 isnt already 8 bolt, im fairly sure its 6 though.
