Here's some general info found on the net:
"V6 Commodore engines are a popular conversion engine
for many types of different vehicles. Ensure that the wiring loom for the engine and the
ECM matches the gearbox that you purchase. Different model V6 Commodores use
different wiring/transmission packages.
Below is a list of components to plan for. -
* Mounting an electronic fuel pump
* Running a return line to the fuel tank for EFI
* Changing the fuel filler to accept unleaded (by law)
* Exhaust change to accept catalytic converter
* Gearbox mount to suit car and gearbox
* Electronic speedo pick-up for computer
* T-bar shifter rod / Gear stick hole plate / Console
* Power steering hoses (all V6's are power steer)
* Air conditioning hoses (if required)
* Trans cooler if applicable
* Radiator fan/shroud and hoses
* Engine check light in gauge cluster for ECM
* Relays and wiring
* Air cleaner box mounting. This would usually require battery relocation.
Therefore it would be easier to use something like an after-market finer filter
for example.
*Steering changes for clearence."
