Are you talking about the front cut with a engine conversion kit for a 5.0???
These engine conversions can cost upwards of $4000 to start with plus the front cut which I have no idea on a price for that.

is this going in a VL or something is it? half cut could cost anything really, depends where you go, wreckers or private, prob cheaper to buy a whole wreck from the wreckers or a from an insurance joint somethign smashed up and then use what you need or something like that.

You don't need a halfcut really...

have a hunt on ebay, should be able to pick up 304ci + loom & ecu for <$1500. Or better yet hunt around caryards for some vn-vp economical writeoffs... doesn't have to be front end damage to take out a $2000 car...

the half cut would contain all the parts needed for the conversion into a VL 6 so the price of this job is only that of the halfcut.
i will also be doing all the work, so there will be no labour cost aswell

well the reason for half cut is i need the k frame, cross member, power steering rack and a few other things.
so the half cut is the way i was thinking. some people want 200 plus for just for the k frame then all the extras stuff ontop will add up soon
in the long run a half cut would be cheaper possibly

yes ive also thought about writen off cars, might head to the auctions one day and see what they have up there

[V8 Berlina]

Yeah auctions would deffently be the go

me and a mate bought a vq v8 for 1900 from the auction. it had an engine fire, but with two new wiring looms it would have been a goer. plus a few plastic bit..

i seen a immac vq statesman with front right damage pushin the guard and chassis in but no damage to the block go for 1400 obviously the k frame and strut would be bent and radiator might be broken as well as fan but this was immac so just goes to show pricing
