430 can

all my engine still looks like new since I used it even over the wet condensation of winter. The front engine cover is white and fluffy from corrosion coz I didn't put it on that part as I have a new timing cover I got from GM in the US.

The top of the manifold where the 3800 script is is polished and wiped once with the gibbs and is as I first polished it some months back.

hey you guys wouldn't happen to know if a latter VR auto V8 trans will work with older wiring harness?

I am changing the engine and box in my brother's 96 VR 5L ute and was assured by many "experts" it takes the later 13 pin trans, so thats what we got for it. Turns out its got 12 pins on the dead box. :roll:

So will it work? 13 pin going into 12 pin car? the plug physically fits.
