LOL... 10,000? What is with these crazy numbers I'm hearing? A stock carb'd SBC motor and trans for about $1,500, Premium/Deluxe install kit from Granny's Speed Shop for about $2,000, Other things like, carb, fuel components, cooling system upgrades, maybe about another $1,000... That's $4,500 to be GOOD TO GO... I can't imagine a $5,000 labor cost for a bolt in installation and minor wiring
