Hi all,
As the title self explains, i am keen for an L67 conversion in my Vy spac.
I've come across a engine with rebuilt top end and 10psi pulley, auto, ecu and loom out of a Vx Calais for $1200 so i figure that is a sort of reasonable price and incentive to buy and go ahead with the conversion.
i have a couple of questions, which are asked on many other threads but never fully answered due to people with way too many opinions trying to answer them
i have done a lot to this car, sound system, better brakes, genuine vy gts wheels, vz calais leather, vz hbd nos steering wheel ect ect list goes on so im not selling it to buy one with a l67 in it already.
anyway back to it!
ive done some extensive research into this already so this is just to clear things up.
Q1.
is it really as simple as take the old out, put the new in, change the fuel pump and mate the bmc to the new ecu?
is there any other little bits and pieces i may run into problems with?
Q2.
will it be fine, being that the engine is out of a vx and mine is a vy?
also will there be any problem with my traction control? or is this all controlled by the abs module?
Q3.
Are there any common problems with l67s i need to look out for?
Q4.
also, im going to look at everything tomorrow before my heart is set on buying this one.
what should i be looking for when looking at the engine and auto? its already out of the car but was running a week ago before the guy swapped to a ls1 (there is a lot you can find out by looking at someones facebook page, so theres no foul play going on haha)
i know leaks and signs of ware, and if the engine is sitting on its sump on a concrete floor it probably will be a good idea to question that haha but anything else?
thanks heaps!

this is my car btw, cleanest S pac ive seen hence why i dont want to sell it
im still on my P's for another year so i shouldnt be driving it but ill have a vx daily anyway so this will be used when im feeling risky so to speak, otherwise ill keep the engine to the side till im off my p's and this info will be used then so i can have a l67 daily and an ls weekender haha.
