I'm thinking about buying an ek or fb
I would like to restore it to almost origional condition, with authentic interior, however im wondering about the posiblity of installing a modern v6 into the car, mabye a 90's commodore motor as well as a modern 5 speed manual
- can it be done?

- what would the cost be?
Thanks for the help
