    It will cost you exactly the price of a slightly smashed 5 liter VN, engine crane hire and the petrol to drive to the rego office to change the engine number :P, so about 2 grand : )?

    You unbolt the K-frame and bolt the V8 one in place, you can even lift the car over the complete V8 front end, drop the car onto it and do up the struts and kframe bolts
