WTF
$2800 for the motor/box and another $1800 to install?? Is that right? WAY TOO MUCH ! ! !
Unless both the motor and box have recently been recoed and there is paperwork to prove it. Even then $1800 for the install is TOOOOO much

do you have ANY mechanical aptitude ?
What i mean is could you remove and replace something like an alternator ad /or starter motor?

From this im guessing that you could do the conversion yourself - with some mates

Look for a WB van/ute/stato with a fresh motor and convert everything straight from one car to the other - very simple


A quick sample (only using this as it was the first one i found with a recently rebuilt motor)
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/wb-holden...item3a739c71be
buy that, swap drivelines and sell it off (change dash and steering wheel as extra bonus)
From what they're selling for it should be worth about $5000 and with stock dash and a 6 in it you'll get $1500 at least
for a full driveline, dash and wheel that's better value

--- Updated ---

you could do the same with something like this and end up with a better motor package and probably still end up less than your original plan
Although i doubt it will sell for $8000 anyway

Or buy a runnig motor and x combolike this a iff it turns out not to be the best the rebuild it later
if it turns out to be a cracker then huge saving
