search my friend, search!
there will be plenty of info on GQ 5.0l conversions!
im getting a smicked up 5.0l put in my GU next mon, so i can let ya know how i (dad) goes putting it all together!

i think it would be cheaper keeping the holden auto and im thinking the GQ is easier doing the wiring then on a GU from what the auto elects said who done my loom and ecu!

you should also put your flame suit on :idea:
you my get burned ;)

Then maybe you should put an engine transplant on hold..
It wont be cheap, and wont be as cheap as you plan, and then you end up with a V8 to run. Many threads say the same thing...

And lastly, you admit your in over your head... truely not a great combination.

Give it a try.

You will learn heaps.

Just as long as you can have it off the road for a while.

a 5ltr v8 will be cheaper than a petrol tb42 to run also.
