sorry im lost underneath mentally not physically hahaha sorry thought it was funny, should i think about doing a vn conversion? or stick with this straight six? or go old school v8?
What condition is your car in? Is it mechanically and bodily sound or does it need work. If it needs work, how much?
It's easy to convert a VB six to an eight, but quite a bit more involved fitting the mechanical components from a VN, because the later engines had fuel injection and more involved electronics than the first series of Commodores and you have to ensure that all these things are installed correctly.
Then , if you upgrade things like the engine, you need to ensure that your suspension, steering and brakes are up to the task. Four wheel discs are a basic need as the old disc/drum combo on your VB won't be good enough. All suspension bushes should be replaced and the steering rack overhauled to remove any worn bushes or tie rod ends, which are very common wear points on Commodores of all vintages.
In my opinion, the old Holden six isn't really worth working up these days because of the fuel problem. They won't run on unleaded unless it's premium with an additive, or you run them on LPG. They don't really put much power out and the transmission choices are limited.
