- 925 for JTR long tube headers
- 100 in misc engine gaskets + cleaners
- 65 for FPR and quick disconnects
- 130 Denso supra fuel pump
- 400 for new clutch MC, line, and ls1 ECU tune
- 100 misc fluids
+ 300 for fd tranny
+ 1500 for fd engine
+ 550 for exhaust
+ 450 for intercooler setup
+ 150 for M2 ecu
+ 45 for fd fuel pump
+ 40 manual boost controller
+ 30 FD Starter
+ 150 Bonez midpipe + highflow cat
+ 70 for 13B subframe
+ 25 MAP/BOOST sensor
+ 50 downpipe + O2
- 100 new GM MAF and IAT sensors
- 100 for flywheel resurface, hot tank oil pan, press in new diff bushings.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- ~3,100.00 so far.

Future estimated costs:
+ ~200 left in misc parts to sell
- 225 adjustable power steering setup
- ~150 for surge tank setup
- 30 shifter handle
- 200 new FD coolant temp and oil pressure sender + adapters
- 1000 exhaust parts, misc wiring stuff, coolant lines, fuel lines, little fab/welding, random shit that comes up.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- ~1,400.00


I estimate the swap will cost me at LEAST $4500.00 to be on the safer side.

I will re-install the under hood A/C parts at a later date.
What's nice is A/C is now cheap and bolt-in, since someone is making the lines that used to require custom work at a local AC shop. For the record, this basic bolt-on LS1 plus a $125 tune puts you around 375WHP. I believe it's about the same cost to go from a stock FD to a single making about the same power (all things considered).
