yeh thought about the 6 speed but i was offered the engine with the box so i had to take it. its a highstall box also so its pretty fun with the quickshifter in it. the whole project has costa fair bit. ill list the prices once i can get them all together. i think its a bit over 20g and thats not including interior n wat not. its not to bad. wen it was a six it had the paint so it just needed a mega facelift ill list few things now wat the hell.
ls1 - highstall -
pwr radiator
9" diff spooled (standard 5L gears at moment which are very tall but 3.9s go in wen i get money also the spool might have to come out with those 600 dolla tyres :P )
calais front and dash
battery boot install - fuse box under dash.
ill list all properly soon.
cheers guys !

I'd prefer a GEN3 in a VL then any other engine combo! Looks at home in the bay anyway. Nice work mate!

haha the headunit was bought last year for like a grand! its a touch screen clarion 52x4 its a very nice piece of equipment :P any way the stereo hasnt had any attention at all but im eagre to get at it as the battery in the boot is a step ahead of any install. think i could get some sort of stereo sponsorship?
