Save yourself the wiring headaches & get for vn v8 loom,change dissy plug to suit vr or get vn dissy.

Use vn speedo sensor & loom which run under console..not 100% but think can bolt into th350 or atleast find adaptor to make it all work.

If wanting to save some coin vn v6 ecu can be used just needs memcal mod & retune.

Eventually doing complete vs v8 setup into vp ute *shudders*

worth changing body loom too? find a v6 stato for 500 and get the nice interior, lvl 3 cluster and dual airbags?

Nah like it looking full povo pack standard...will change engine loom to suit vp body harness & use convertor box to fix different vs to vp speedo signal.

Should move it on but would miss driving damn thing & have tonne of leftover v8 parts.

pretty sure speed signal's the same isn't it?

Thought:
-VN-VP went speed sensor--> cluster (divided by 5) --> pcm
-VR on went speed sensor -->same signal to both cluster and pcm

Maybe not though

Speedo signal wave is different apparently...no pcm hoopla just speedo sensor,seperate loom/plug on top of trans tunnel then up to speedo.

vn-p driveline would be simplest but complete reco'd vs v8 conversion with small cam,extractors etc from radiator to t/shaft for $1100 too hard to pass up.

Thought that was only the t5 that used the square wave signal - you might be in the clear...

yeah going the elec auto is a must. th700's are just too expensive now when you find a good one.

You need to get a VATS disabled memcal, otherwise the VR ECU will stop it from firing. Delcowizzid or The1 on this forum, or the guys at PCMHacking can help you.

If you do get the T350, you'll need to have the memcal setup as if it were a manual as the box isn't electronic. VN ECU/loom kind of negates this as the TH700 wasn't electronic either.
