Good morning.

Are you going to use a carburetor engine or fuel injected? Auto transmission or manual?

Okay, you are going to need:

1. complete engine assembly along with transmission.
2. exhaust system.
3. motor mounts.
4. complete wiring harness for the engine.
5. larger radiator for bigger engine.
6. front springs for additional weight.
7. different rear end ratio.

Would you say all that would be worth it? Or would it cost too much? Maybe like a price range.

Okay, doing it correctly I would guesstimate around $3,000.00 to $4,000.00 give or take.
