vs commodore
hi, new to this page was just wondering what will it take to convert a 6 to an 8 in my vs ute. I was told I only need to change the essentials (power steering/alternator/radiator etc. was also told it just drops straight in? is this correct cause getting told different things from different people is making me stay up till 3 every morning wondering what ifs.. haha

You will need a V8 K frame for a start. Motor and ecu. Plenty of threads if you search.

Buy another vs with a 304 and do a transplant. You should be able to do it for around $2000 if you find a suitable donor car.
