You are right that the new engine will cost a bit of coin. 6,200 from LRS plus add the cost of the control pack when it becomes available. When the new GT's start showing up in salvage yards the prices for a long block should come down quite a bit compared to buying new.
Time will tell how cheap this sort of swap will be able to be done.
