Sweet, I hope to get an AU engine too, mine already blows enough blue smoke in the mornings, however it clears up once I just get down the road.
You'll love the new motor tho, so much stronger, tighter and smoother!

Why didnt you opt for a BA engine conversion if you are going to go through all the trouble?

cause they don't fit under the bonnet the DOHC is too tall and it pokes out the bonnet. not to mention the only after market ecu to get it to work is a motec and that is $$ also to run the factory ecu you need the BCM and cluster or it wont work.. looms don't fit up etc etc massive job i have thought about it... as you can tell
