A holden V8 should be a cheap swap.
Just remember the other things you need to cope with whatever engine you put in. (brakes, suspension, gearbox and diff)
Contact some local engineers to find out what's involved

When you can legally drop a 308 straight into a VK (unlike your EH) its a huge waste of money spending it on a 6 cylinder. You could drop $3-4k on a 202 and it would only match the performance of a 308 with the usual exhaust, cam, extractors, carb etc.
Save up and buy a 308. Youll need to change the K frame, brakes and suspension but its a fairly easy conversion. For the price you could probably sell your one and pick up a VK V8 pretty cheap.
I put a VK 308 motor into my HQ with a 4 speed manual and its only marginally slower than my mates torana (minus 400kgs) with a $6000 186 stroker.
Youll only waste your money on a 6 cylinder once!
thanks guys
i think i mite drop a 308 in it as it may take me some time
also i want to get the car resprayed so yeh by that time il be most likely off the p's..plus rents are givin me some money to get a daily besides me mums bomby camry wagon lol
but yeh 308 sounds good to me my bro's mates dad mite have one from the hq as he put in a 350 chev
thanks fella's il ask if anymore q"s arise
cheers Corey

This engine is a good choice for your VK. It will "pretty much" drop straight in, and will make very good power. You can also use your existing gearbox and diff, which is a bonus
