    thanks for comments,will take better pics when it stops raining here and lowered,thinking will change diff gears th 4.11 for a little more bottom end,was originally a 5.0 but cant be compared to what it goes like now,i did the conversion in the shed at home over a couple weeks,only problem i had was getting the driver side extractor to clear the steering,and as the car sits it is pretty much immaculate and owes me around 2k as it sits

    The same reason you put leather seats from an S15 in a CA18DE powered silvia. Because its better. Would flog your car. Nothing wrong with old Commodores. And people with NA CA S13's cant bag them out.

    na didnt use a kit,from the centre of the 1uzfe engine mounts to the centre of the 1uzfe gearbox mount is the same distance as the original 304 5.0,so only had to redrill 4x holes in the original commodore gearbox crossmember and the lexus mount dropped straight in,and i am running the original 5.0 engine cross member with the 5.0 rubber mounts with 10mm plate mounts from those to the engine,the tailshaft is the front of the lexus with commy centre bearing and commy rear half,the only things that are really close are the rocker cover to brake booster and the oil filter to chassis but i have a shorter height one on there,and only other issue was getting extractor around the steering shaft,other than that was pretty straight forward

    with the kit i had cut a bit out rocker cover so the booster can go back in. and im using a remote oil filter i do not care for that i now got an oil feed for the turbo. that only issues i had
