maybe if a shop did everything for you...

Silvertop is ~1K for EVERYTHING
It bolts right in to the ST, so if you can bum a cherry picker from someone you should be able to do the transplant yourself.
Make the harness yourself, or send it off to Dr_Tweak and have it done for ~400
So for ~1500 you would have it in the car and running... this is in the best case. You'll want to change the timing belt while the motor is out and other preventative maintanence...

Other than that, you'll need a paseo throttle cable and other various things along the way, and if you plan to modify it with a lightweight flywheel, new clutch (which you should do anyways) and exhaust

I would set aside about 2.5K for the 20V swap if you plan to do it yourself... 4K+ if a shop is going to do it....

For what it's worth it is a fun little motor smile.gif
