vt v6 ecotec- 5l 308 injected, help!!

[NVMYVT]

hy guys, after applying for a refinance on my loan to buy a wh stato, and finding out what they wanted in interest and the fortnightly repayment i have decided to scrap the idea and just tear apart the vt executive and throw in a 5.0l injected motor from the same year.

what i need to know is,,,, well to be honest i need to know everything
. How much should i expect to pay for a decent condition motor, auto trans, harness and ecu?
. What do i need to replace on the car to make it road legal eg. suspension, brakes, diff????
. How much can be done at home by someone who has done 2 years of auto mechanical/electrical courses at tafe who grew up around the good old 202's????
. Do the guages in the instrument cluster need changing to suit the new setup???

thanks in advance

why not an LS1????

[greenfoam]

It could be more or less the exact same cost to put a ls1 in, might even be cheaper. A good 5 litre from a VT is going to cost you every bit as much as a ls1

ok i figured a 5 litre might work out cheaper, so what would need doing to install an ls1 into my v6 4spd auto vt executive??

i would much prefer the ls1 trust me,,, but like i said i figured the 5 would be cheaper and easier

ok so we have changed from a 5.0l to the ls1 gen 3,,, what do i need to do to have this running in my car leagally? and how much am i looking at roughly

well thanks for the help guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
