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
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.
