If you have the funds and someone with skills to do it then it might cost you about 13k or more.

Left nut and half your shaft.

All depends on where you find the engine, if you pay someone else to do the swap, how much fab work you do yourself, etc, etc, etc.

Engine ~5k
Trans ~2k
DME/Software ~2k
Assorted odds and ends ~2k

Then, you have labor, I'd put that at..

Labor ~3k

I count 14kay there.

luckily you have an 88 so an S54 is a direct swap!

should cost you a bag of peperoni and a pack of newports

I'm doing one now so far 10k+ 4500 engine,tranny, 3500 labour 2000+ parts & mods. cars running good but falls into limp mode, the dsc/abs system is pretty technical, you need every sensor that was on the car (steering angle, lateral & yaw, dsc pressure on the mc (2), wheel sensors (4) accelerator sensor. Thats where I am on this swap. you can see pictures on photobucket just punch in gregory222@msn.com in the search box, you'll get an idea of what your in for.
