One string banjo. Maybe 2
-Rebuilt L31 is around $1,500
-383 with a truck cam will run you around $2,000 if you carefully shop around
-From what I've priced out, LSx is at least $3,000 to get running right if you shop around carefully
I fully intend to have my LSx swap installed for $1500... I think your prices are WAY off on all fronts though. Maybe if you just buy everything off the shelf and but a complete pullout, new accessories, etc... the LS swap would come up to that, but thats FAR from a bottom line.
If the deals I'm working on go through, I'll have a running 5.3l for a total of $550 (5.3 w/ cracked heads for $200, and low mileage LS1 heads, plus some mill work to bring the CR back up and make sure they're flat, gaskets and new head bolts, used ECU and reworked harness cost me $150) That leaves me a grand for ancillary parts and a transmission.
