        Mine is costing way too much. Had I known it would be this expensive i would not have done it.

        Engine and trans $2,200
        Driveline $36
        PA RACING K MEMBER $400
        Jet hot headers $580
        MSD wires $80
        NGK Plugs $56
        Shift plate $75
        Guage cluster $50
        mufflex Y pipe $250
        Energy susp. Poly motor mounts $50
        Install $1800

        Still deciding wheather to go with a volant cai or back to a lid setup. Cost about another $200-$275

        So im about just under $6k on my engine swap. But most of the stuff I bought wasnt really required for the swap. And it seems like I forgot to list something? So IM sure its a little more than that. But that gives you an idea.

          My swap includeing install, upgraded computer, and new rear axle was $3500 total. Got a good hook up. Keep an eye out I will have turbo or SC soon hopefully. Working out which will work better and be more cost effective.
