No need for that either. Should be able to use the front half fron the donor car, and your rear. (was like that with VK, and being the same wheelbase compared to sedan, can't see why it'd be different for VS)


Not sure of people in SA, but Mal Wood in QLD can ship everything you need to your door, and he has a fitting agent here (can't remember the companies name, but if you ask him, he'll be able to help with everything)

I think you'll be pushing it for that. Just google Mal Wood, and give him a call tomorrow, and he'll put you in touch with the company here.

Thought of increasing your budget and getting a 6 speed?

LOL, it never works. I tried 3 projects at once, and had to sell 2. Now have 2 on the go again.

Just Commodore Spares quoted me $2750 for parts and installation
Dunno if it would be different for a stato

Are you serious?
Last time i went there, they wanted $3500 for a V8 5 speed conversion fitted. They must have realised that their prices are ****in stupidly high.
