Sorry to be a Debbie Downer, but if you are not doing any of the labor and you want those power levels.... Well, I doubt you will be able to cover it with only 11k.

The only thing I would have the shop do would be actually getting the motor and trans into the car and fabricating exhaust and motor mounts, and depending on which motor I go with, dealing with the electrical system

Def most cost effective way. IMO, if you can't do the swap yourself you better be best friends with someone who can. If you're just paying a shop, forget about it. You need to know the ins and outs of the build so when something goes wrong you're not just taking back to that shop. |

I've seen people dropping well over 10K to make over 550HP and they already had a good engine and tranny to start with. Don't forget that with that much power you may also want to upgrade your suspension and brakes. good luck |

LS would be fun as hell in one of these cars, the 427 stroker version I build makes over 600hp and could be gotten past a referee at the smog shop. |
