Default AU III V8 conversion - to be or not to be?

Ladies/Gents

I currently have an 02 AU III forte, pretty much stock as far as mechanicals go. I am looking at doing some mods to it but I have a dilemma do just go through all the bolt ons or do I dig up an XR8 motor and convert. While I'm on that, do BA motors fit?

I have been quoted $7500 for a 250 pursuit ute motor is this even possible?

Following that line of questioning, if I'm going to do that, should I convert it to a manual while I'm at it.

Does anyone have any thoughts on the whether this is even wise....or do I just bin the forte and get an XR8 off any one who's selling and start from there. 2002 XR8s with reasonable K's still aren't that cheap by the way and if you know of one can you tell me ;)

It would be great to hear the "collective's" thoughts on the matter

Cheers

Trent
