the LS heads from the complete engine won't fit your 304, but if you've got the engine spare, grab a trannie and the rest and chuck it in the vq!

Are you trying to say you're a mechanic??

Sounds like the auto its totally rooted time for a rebuild.

As for the 5.7lt motor are you talking about a LS1? or a factory stroker holden V8?
