20b Installs

well lets put things into perspective here.

20B engine $4000
management $1700 (that is a bare harness not already loomed out)
building engine with BT sleeves ported with new seals dowel pins ect. $5000 minimum
fuel system (pump, injectors, regulator) $650
good clutch $750
subframe, $1000-1500
turbo kit with manifold turbo and external gate (name brand) $3000
full exhaust with custom down pipe $1000
LS1 Coil/ignitor packs $500

Alright that is around 19K in parts and that doesn't include labor. Shops that work on cars have to have mechanic insurance which is pretty expensive. This doesn't include all the labor for fitment and customized brackets, alignment, tuning bla bla bla. Totally huge undertaking for someone on a budget.

You can do it cheap with carbs and na w/o rebuilding the engine. But you don't know the condition of the engine unless you tear it down.
