Frank pricing on ls1/t-56 swap?

[Matt]

I'm trying to work on a budget for the swap.
So from buying the engine and tranny, to all the necessary electronics, mounts, exhaust, and drive shaft what am I realistically looking at? I'm totally ok with a used engine up to about 100k miles.


Edit.
I'd really like this to become the budget / methods thread.

I know one option you have different engine placement, and you have to go rack and pinion.

Budget around $5000 if you are a good shopper and can do all the work yourself.
Budget around $10,000 if you buy things at retail, and have to pay someone to do the work.

Add another $7500 to Tony's budget and you can have a magnacharger and all the assorted pieces it requires too.

[Matt]

is that including the steering fixes, and oil pan, and wiring, what not?

[Nine Ball]

does not include any parts not directly attached to the engine.

[SatisTraction]

if you shop hard and do all your own work you may get out for $5000

engine/tranny/harness/ecm $2800
read the FAQ thread on ls1tech.com in the conversion thread for pinouts, motor mounts, oil pan issues, ETC.
exhaust can be $100-1000 depending on what you want to do.
Fuel system is going to be about $100-1000 depending on what you want to do.
then a dyno/computer tune $500
