i can get the gen3 very cheap...
can this be transplanted into the old MK/MQ?
What sort of things will I need to look out for?
Best to run the 4spd auto holden box or retain the 5 spd?
or am i just an idiot?

With alomst 30yrs difference in the motors I'd be guessing that they've changed the bell housing bolt patteren on the motorside.

would the engine be worth 3-4 times what the car is worth then?

do you get the computer and loom and all bolt ons with that?
with any engine change your looking at 10G min so is it worth it?

350's are Legal and as I said there are heaps of them around. Maybe Just GQ Brakes?
Use the auto and Nissan t-case till it blows up then get the Adaptor to the GQ case. HEAPS Stronger!

The bolt patterns of 350/ls1 are almost exactly the same. From memory, there is a change of 1 or 2 bolt holes.... this is on the manual 6 speed they come with, but I believe the patterns of 6 sp and auto are the same.
