na ive done it a number of times now lol
vt v6 then converted that to 5ltr and now converted to LS1
because they came out factory with a v8 and a v6, you DO NOT need an engineers as long as the suspension and brakes are also changed to that of a V8 model including master cylinder.
once thats done all you have to do is take it to vicroads and change engine numbers over and tell them its now a 8cylinder and they'll check you have done brakes ec...
