Im about 6k into my setup but thats including the car (with a blown up 5.0 swap done already) a zero mile motor and having to convert back to a vbelt setup for the early 3 bolt 28oz motor and the conversion flywheel for a t-5 on to the early motor. You could prob do the whole swap for 1500-3500 depending on how cheap u wanted to be and how built the motor is. If i did it again id buy as built a 5.0 i could find for as cheap as possible and throw that in. If your capible of fabbing headers then the swap is 100x easier because u can deal with the drivers side header going back rather then wrapping it around the front like i did.
And im running an edelbrock 289 performer with a holley 650 double pumper and milodon drop hat and 3x13 k&n clears fine. My homade dual snorkle "muscle car" intake based off a late 80s truck filter) barely fits but that was with the edelbrock 600 i had before i havent checked since i put one the holley. If u use ghe smaller 8x2" filter set up u def wont have any probs no matter what intake/carb u use. Also keep in ming i think my mounts and pan are homade and sit farther back (my drivers valvecover barely touches the fire wall) and lower then the e30v8 setup.
