boona,
A few tips for whatever you choose, preferrably get a car that had a v8 in it ie stronger diff rear disks springs etc. make sure the car was not defected if you get it from a wreckers because the car MUST come off the defect before you buy it or you wont be able to reregister it. for a wiring kit try 'v6 conversions' tell them what model car its going into and what year engine you have and what type of plug is on the o2 sensor my kit turned up with the wrong type on it. As for the type of car to get personal preference you are the one who has to drive it good luck jonesy

I would put it in an early model commy aswell..... i reckon a straight vk with a nice paint job and ss look a like kit.
Mate if you want something purely for speed.... i saw a gemini on this sight with a vp v6 in it!! running 14.3 with his auto screwing up. Dunno if its possible, but imagine a little old gemi with a worked 304 under the hood.... hello 12s.
I dont like the look of them, but shit it would scream!!!
And i dunno if its even possible... and if it is would probably be more money than its worth to covert it.. just a thought.

Lc or lj torana, nice light powerful package! Or even lh-lx-uc torana would make a good package and it is pretty much all bolt in lh-uc toranas!
