Re: motor swap

just a 6.0 w/ a cam swap (using my built 700r4) has run me just north of 5K. My original "budget" was 3K. Unless you get a perfect engine that does not need any extra sensors, bolts, accessories, etc, and you will be surprised by how fast that small "cheap" stuff adds up. Of course, how much work you can do on your own will make a big difference. Also, if you don't do a cam swap, you're saving almost 1K in parts.
