ill play devils advocate.

say what 3,500 for a motorset with 6 speed?
say 1,500 for mount kit
say 500 for wiring harness
the ls1 swap headers for a 240sx is 800/1000 depending on how much u push for them.

still need a exhaust

new clutch(upgraded of course)

still need an upgraded fuel setup.

still need a rearend(300z,q45,skyline with the axels) like 300/500
than brakes(300z,q45,skyline) rotors and the right break master cylnder 500 for the swap
still need a radiator/upgraded cooling system
id personally do a full seal kit and freshen the motor up a bit. new rings at least..

add all that up for right around 10grand... for a stock motor... now u want a cam,tune,manifold,nitrous, ect ect.. u can just keep adding it all up.

its not just put a motor in and u have a killer car. and its not as simple as just dropping the motor in and its all done..

(i personally like buying kits) to do motor swaps u have costumer service r&d someone to call if things dont line up.. if the wiring is messed.. someone is liable and u can usually resolve things.

especially like having wiring done.. frying an ecu or back feeding and melting ur harness is not a fun experience... been their done that.. cost more than doing it yourself.
