A clapped out redtop would have definitely been cheaper than my KA-T but..
Wiseco 9.0:1 pistons, 89.5mm, Manley H beam rods, balanced rotating assy, 264/264 cams and a Borg Warner S257 Sx-e w/ .82 A/R housing. This is a mild tune on 93 octane pump gas. I have about $700 in machine work and $2500ish in parts including megasquirt ECU and white bunny clutch.
I happen to be a bit biased toward KA-Ts, over SRs though both are old tech nowdays. Sure to get flamed but I don't think much about an SR. If I were going to swap it'd be a naturally aspirated LS or RB25DET.
Edit* forgot the turbo, so bring it closer to $3 grand. We'll say $3500 for guesswork */edit*
