Bit more info would help.
1. V6 or V8??
2. VS series 1 or 2??
Big differences, electrically mainly, are the main hassles.
The box will physically fit up, so too the tailshaft.
The flywheel is different.
The auto PCM in the VS will not work w |

I think you can still buy the VS 2 manual V6 harness new for about $150. I have a VR V6 manual memcal and ECU somewhere around here too, but you probably need the Ecotec one anyway. I'd probably have the appropriate ECU for that too, but no memcal |

What you really want is a BWPK1634 Eprom in the Memcal and an 16199728 ECU. This is the last of these with the latest software with all fixes applied. There looks to be a 2 and 4 wire O2 sensor on earlier Programs so if you need to check that you |
