You can do it but is will require a major, expensive operation including wiring and computer. I would guess about 4K should do it.

Suggested Repair
A SHO engine swap is not a simple drop-in and requires a major, expensive conversion including wiring and computer changes. Reinstall the original engine rather than attempting the swap.
