The LF1 was replaced by the LFW in 2011 and is exactly the same so get a LFW I have done 2 Lf1 to LFW now and no problems whatsoever.

So lfw also direct swap in?

Yes the LF1 and LFW are exactly the same from a VE and you will have no issues.
You can even use a LFW from a VF but you have to change the sump and pickup to the VE one.
Don't get confused and get a LFX as that needs a new ECU.

What this bastard said. Get an engine with the RPO code of LFW.

This will give you the least problems during the swap over.

That's it!, the only problem you have is remembering where all the fudging bolts go and remembering to plug all the wires in
