the best tip would be, don't do it. a commodore V6 is more powerful, far more economical, and far more reliable, not to mention lighter, and an easier, cheaper swap.

the engine you fit must be of the same age or NEWER than your chassis, you might have emission control issues with the 4.2.

either way, throw out the bundera transmission and use the auto from the V8 or V6, you WILL destroy the bundy gearbox in a short time.
