Don't see why not. I'm redoing the entire van but if you already have a working loom in your van you're happy with then it's a lot easier. The wiring from the VN engine to the computer is a complete independent loom so all you have to do is mount the ECU somewhere and plug the engine in. From there the main things to do is get the trans wiring back to the ECU and interface the computer to your instrument cluster which ideally you will have swapped for something a little more modern.

There will be a few other small things like power from the ignition, hooking up the O2 sensor etc (unless you're from NZ) but nothing you can't handle I'm sure so long as you have a basic working electrical knowledge.

Note that I'm talking about the early model Commodore VN here with the basic V6 Buick engine. Later models had computer controlled transmissions etc and I believe are a different kettle of fish.

hey rogue, when are you moving to qld, you can be our bedford guru. lol  My mechanic said that from VR on, you really have to be a techno wizard, it really gets complicated, i would of loved to go late late to get all the gadgets, but my mechanic could not work on them confidently, so i settled for late model and up and running, at least i can cruise again.
