Hey guys, first post and here's the deal...
I've gone out and bought a running and driving 98 VS parts car with a manual gearbox and Ecotec in it. I'm wanting to swap these into my current ute 97 VS with an auto and Ecotec. The questions I keep coming back to are these:
Will it be easier to splice the wiring looms from auto to the manual like a lot of people do, or is it easier since I have the manual loom and all to just swap the lot?
Once I swap all the computers around will my ignition and all the security jazz still work or is there going to be altercations there?
Any hints or tips on this would be great as it's my first engine swap and while I've got a decent idea I'm still lost in the woods a bit!
Thanks in advance!
