Hey guys, New to the forum.
I'm about to start a new project. Quick back story - The day I got my P's I drove to my job at the supermarket in my Dad's 5.0L VN Calais. When I finished the shift, all that was left in the parking spot was some broken glass. We never saw it again. Mum made Dad buy a Carolla after that.
Well I recently turned 30 and thought I would start the project of replacing that car.
I've never worked on a Holden before and just wanted some advice on where my limits will be. eg. Can I easily swap out a V6 for a V8? Where will i run into issues with newer engines? Best places to sources existing parts?
I'm going to start looking for the body soon, and while the finished product should be a V8, I wanted to know if I could buy a V6 model and do the conversion?
Thanks for any help you can offer!
