I cant think of a company, but I can tell you I am sick of my 253 at the moment lol I drove my mates car with the alloytec in it, and in the future, i will be deciding. alloytec 6 or the VS series 2 EFI v8..
Those v6's go hard tho so good choice i reckon.. I just hate the sound of them.
How far does your budget stretch?

i'd suggest talking to www.v6conversions.com.au or www.rodshop.com.au, if anyone will have a kit it will be them guys.

Personally I think the engine is a bit new for anyone putting together a kit maybe in the coming year.It wouldnt be hard fitting the engine into a early commodore.
Trouble could be encountered with...
Wiring
Computer looking for a BCM or other on board computers
Plumbing for powersteering & aircon
Tailshaft
exhaust
gearbox lineup for crossmember & linkages/shifter

really no trouble than any other conversion
All you need to do is make your mind up what engine you want 304/308, V6 (3.8) Chev or alloytec I think you have covered all engine choices for your car.

Start small and wrk your way up, put a baby 253 is it.

hmm ... im sure i read somewhere a while back that v6conversions has completed their first swap of an alloytec into an old holden ... but i don't know many details about it!

whats the fun of doing a conversion like that if your gonna pay som1 else to do it

 

[killuminati]

You do it yourself, but they give u a kit.

I would have to agree with HDT_aero to me there is no fun in buying a kit and basically putting it together. I have done almost everything on my 5L conversion/car rebuild except for building the exhaust (I speced it out) machinist work for my rear brakes, and finally I dont be spraying my car although I am preping it.
