Hi Hashem,
It’s an excellent idea! A V10 powered Lumina (Australian Commodore SS).
We haven’t heard of anyone doing the conversion, but it would likely require the front radiator support moved forward and/or the firewall to be moved back slightly to make it fit.
Engine mounts shouldn’t shouldn’t be too difficult to fabricate, but other than that, it’s definitely possible.
Go for it mate. And feel free to drop us an email or comment throughout the build process to let us know how it all goes.
Cheers,
