its definitely all bolt in except gearbox x member i know it cos iv done it but dont do it cos its my uniqueness, my baby haha just kidding i aint gon stop ya also dont worry it aint going matt black i hate that shit it may look good wet but thats the only time f***** dirty crap matte black **edit no offense to other people running matte black,, its just a personal thing i like to polish the crap out of my cars and matte blacks too bloody hard to make look clean in the sun its just not for me

oh yer conversion is simple once you get off your ass and do it i wasnt gunna say anything at first cos im looking forward to having a unique-ish conversion havent really heard of people in NZ doing this conversion yet VL Holden parts required: motor gearbox driveshaft whole rear end (solid end diff) front subframe steering column and rack fuel tank fuel pump once you have these parts you swap them over and they all bolt in the same place perfectly front subframe is NECESSARY as engine mount positions have a 50 mm difference the only thing that requires modification is the gear box crossmember as the VL body changes slightly under there basically cut the bracket off the VL cross member and weld to VB Xmember oh and ill have to drill a hole for the wiring loom to enter the cabin
