    I looked into this for my 5ltr stato not including engine and box AROUND 1200 i think for conversion kit from castlemain rod shop but that was engine mounts and trans adapter for an auto give em a call or an email GOOD LUCK WITH IT it would be an awsome conversion!

    It has been kicked around a bit, and most people seem to agree that the job would be a minimum of 10k for the entire completed conversion.

    By the way, V6 Caprice? I thought they only came out in 8?

    yeh its a v6 was heeps hard to find, the cars only done 70thousand km's so the engine is sweet but just asking because a dude at work just wrote off his vy ss with an ls1 and many and he wasnt covered due to DUI so i thought id ask to see if its worth getting that conversion or sticking a blower on it when im off my p's
