Hey guys I have a vp factory T5 manual (cable clutch) and was wondering can I just drop an ecotec and bolt it too the t5 without needing too change anything like the ecu etc...?

Recently Rodney came out for a play and took his friend crank with him so I need too swap it out. I have a couple ecos laying around the joint that all run nicely just don't know if it'll drop straight in.
Its getting harder too find those Buick motors in decent condition nowadays compared too the ecos so probably time too upgrade

There is a thread pinned at the top of this very section that covers doing the eco swap into a VN/VP.
