Shoe horn in a VH45DE

I have been reading about this fun piece of gear called a VH45DE. It's a 4.5L V8 Quad Cam 32valve torque monster.

So drag heads over here (australia) use the motor in old holdens (GM company).

Some twin turbo some supercharge. but a stock (no mods at all) 400nm from 1000-5000rpm is lovely in my eyes!!!

A half cut is around $3500AUD (all wiring required). I only don't know how far I need to go with the coversion.

    I'm just looking at the options atm. Might talk to a mechanic mate and see his ideas on the matter. (probably tell me not to ask him to help if i do do it).

    My beast will be one mad max machine if i do it. Hmmm... maybe I should use a GQ for a base vehicle instead.

    Well anyone have ideas or experience in stalling these motors in a L28 machine?
