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!
