It depends on what options you take and the price of the crate motors from Holden at the time. But i would think 12,000 - 16,000 should do the trick.dansedgli wrote:How much is it costing?
A mate has been quoted $12.5k to replace his exploded 3 litre. :(
is that with a new engine though? because new engine with all accessories and wiring etc. is like 6G at the moment.bogged wrote:I find $16k a lot of brass for the conversion...
Specially when some people say they get out of it for under $8-10g's doing some themselves.

A Gen 3, is 3 generation 5.7 V8 Commodore motor, doubt can get for a grand or 2. More like $5000 Plus, second hand.bogged wrote:fiar call.. I was working on lots seem to go front cuts for grand or 2..chunderlicious wrote:is that with a new engine though? .
Hey bogged i suppose the best answer for that is if you aren`t prepared to spend that much then dont do it , simple, problem solved.bogged wrote:I find $16k a lot of brass for the conversion...

or if you looked at it with both eyes open, the price hes been quoted is very top end of the scale, he could do better by shopping aroundsegan1 wrote:Hey bogged i suppose the best answer for that is if you aren`t prepared to spend that much then dont do it , simple, problem solved.bogged wrote:I find $16k a lot of brass for the conversion...

Where did you see The crate LS2 for under 4k, the L76 can be had for that but the LS2 is a different motor.weeman wrote:
