youll need a donor car because you'll have to basically rewire your entire car with the electical from the 05

in short you are better off buying a 02 or 03-05 ecotec functional car and save millions and swap the front ends.

Well the big problem with having a manual is you're going to have to moch up your engine/tranny and then weld up your new rear tranny mount, the getreg mounts in a different location then your stock isuzu tranny. The overall project is not that hard it's just really long, if you need a how to then you probably shouldn't try. You strip your car bare and swap everything from the donor over just how it was. The only way I would recommend doing it is if you have another wrecked car to swap everything over, if not then it's going to be more of a PITA then it's worth.
