hello instylefc,

welcome to the forum.

lots of info here on conversions if you use the search function.

im guessing now at the prices of kits but i'd say around $1500 to 2000 for all "bolt-on" bits. like 3/4 chassis rails, crossmember and steering rack ec.

places like CRS, V6 conversions, rods racks etc cater for conversions.

and not much really bolts on when doing a conversion of this nature, be prepared to make lots of one-off brackets, bits and bobs.

hth a little.

Cheers

Ed

Virtually everyone will tell you that the Chev is an easier fit than the Holden.
