    Well its been covered before, but $4000+ to get all the right stuff to fit a sb chev into a VK. For that much money you can have a tough 308

    A chev is a big job for an early model commodore due many things such as the starter being on the drivers side and needing to be relocated as the steering rack is in the way of it.
    As SL/ENut said much better options for the money it would cost, such as an EFI 5L strocker plus you would be able to run it on normal pump fuel.

    Dedicated LPG is a way to comply to polution laws and is an option for you.

    cheers
