The local Holden dealer here is selling new 6 Lt crate motors for $6600 excluding the starter, computer, loom and alt.
Is that good

That price sounds good, however you need to allow for all of the accessories to go onto the engine, you'll soon be up for at least an extra several thousand $$$$ if you incorporate the original ecu, wiring harness etc. I have installed a new Gen IV 550 Hp LS7 into my GU Patrol and I know how much F***king aroung there is.
You can quite easily source all the components you need, recommended to use new stuff, however you'll need to combine a decent auto transmission with your chosen V8. There's another 3 to 5,000 $$$$ already, and not to mention engine mounts and engineering. OOHHH its reminding me of my finished project (thank god its over)!!
Good luck with your project.
