nope, dont bother, Sell what ever you have now and trade up to a VT II SS or soemthing with an LS1, you can pick up up for around 11-12k anyday of the week..

needs custom made block mounts to match the K frame... ive seen one in a VR maloo, but stroking a holden motor is easier....

we have a VB wagon with factory fitted chev, has different chassis rails and runs a steering box that hangs through the inner gaurd, custom K frame and custom sump & pickup.... most of this is to get around the holden steering rack which gets in the way of the chev starter motor,

you can buy kits that space the k frame but your car will never be low and its a horrible way to do it (guy in our car club has it done like this... looks ****e)

i can get motor an box for 3k but whats needed to be done to the vn like cuttin welding **** like that from 1 nut to the whole thing

Motor and box is just the easy part mate, and the relatively cheap part.

If you don't know what you're doing and you are not prepared to pay atleast 10 or 15 grand then don't bother thinking about it.

Yeah a 5L is relatively easy.

Engine, Box, K Frame, Radiator, Trans Cooler, ECU, Front Springs and you're basically done.

Its a much more common conversion so there is alot more detailed information around and the parts are cheaper also.
