hi, ive put a performance cam and modified memcal in a v6 commodore, it wasnt too bad a job, only if i remember correctly a couple bolts might be a wee bit hard to get to. i think the power steering fluid retainer box ,had to come of, and while trying to get one of the hoses of the fluid resevoir, the plastic connection broke pretty easy. might pay to watch that ,...
