K swaps are expensive unless you cheapen out on the motor. Doing it yourself can be done but it isnt that easy. $7-9k is an estimate for parts and some labor. Always have higer than what you think will be the most you spend. Little shit adds up real fast!

 

How do you people come up with 7-9 thousand dollars?!

 

just get an ls for 200

 

Stop being lazy and go do a search on other websites and you will get your answer.

 

i would spend 10k on something else, a j30 swap would be faster and cheaper

 

J swaps are going to blow up real soon. However not being able to close your hood/ having to cut your hood kinda sucks. Looks kinda cool but maybe a cowel hood will allow it to close without cutting?

 

cut the hood and expose the beast

 

Cheaper maybe, faster no....there is still no engine management for the J series yet. So running on 5 check lights isnt exactly faster to me.


K swaps are cheap if you know where to buy the parts.

Can be from anywhere from 5k-15k depends how much of a baller you are and what kind of set up you build....

To clearify the swap parts to put it in the car is like 2k. ALL of it.
