    for everything you can plan on in between $400-1000 depending upon how good you are with finding parts for a good deal.

    Locally I can pull motors at a JY for $180 a motor. Doesn't matter good bad or anything else. The key there would be having a complete setup for $180.

    Look around and find the deals. I've seen guys swap for as little as $300 plus gaskets.

    It can (and has) been done for under $400. Don't be afraid to look at cars on CL that have had engine fires - I've seen several lately...cheap.
