Welcome to Just Commodores, a site specifically designed for all people who share the same passion as yourself.
Conversions are not fairly straight forward as you think/say if you have actually done one/any.
Yes they sound fairly easy on google paper but reality is theres a bit of head farcqking around to get all things buttoned up to drive like a factory fittedV8 car.
Doing an injected 304 swap will be easier than dropping in an LS, especially if going with VN/VP ECU and trans. Yeah decent amount of work but at least most things bolt up. Like GTR suggested get hold of donor and pretty well set.If a 304 is converted to carb, reality is, they are as simple as swapping from a 6 to an 8...If it is left as an injected motor, different story....
I do know of a couple of carb powered 304's too.....Can post up a youtube video of one if you like....Happens to belong to a relative of mine....

The biggest problem I had when I had a vp v8 with auto fitted to my vh was finding anyone who knew what they where doing. There were those who said they could but didn't so it cost me a lot more than it should of. This was over 20 years ago when there weren't that many conversions being done. Afterwards wisdom would have been to convert it to carburetor. Would have been a lot cheaper.
Sounds like you have never done a V8 efi conversion before and just saying its easy from other user’s posts you read considering the time you spend 7days a week on this forum noting your ute simple fix dramas, you wouldn't have time to do a conversion, let alone sleep and work paid job.Doing an injected 304 swap will be easier than dropping in an LS, especially if going with VN/VP ECU and trans.
