Probably with trans rebuild, all exhaust work, HP tuner (needed to diag issues), all-in probably about $3500 plus many hours. Some of this was due to mounting issues like width of OEM engine vs original space, engine mounts, A/C mounting issues, purchase of 12 different serpentine belts, etc.

However, I am sure the kit is not completely pain free or labor free;
