No such thing (avg cost) on a motor swap.
It goes from very cheap (you stole it) to how
deep your daddy's pockets are.

I just blew up my LB9 305 in my 88 IROC, i found a 350 L98 from an 87 IROC, im giving him $400... and im getting S/r torquer heads for $300, and a ZZ3 cam for $150, and am boring it over .030 and getting pistons and rings for $150. Im looking at around $2000 but im also hoping it to run high 12's. but thats with other mods like : ported plenum, FULLY ported manifold, ported SLP runners, 3.42 gears, rebuilt T5, TB airfoil, SLP 1 3/4" headers, 3" ypipe, no cat, 3" hooker catback and thats about it.

Import, thanks for the ideas. I figured that's about what I was going to run into. I had planned on about $1500. Almost all of your plans are ones that I had planned as well.
