Parts wise....150-the sky is the limit on performance and aftermarket. Labor is free if you do it yourself.

"327 vette motor" - scary words.

If the engine was replaced using the original equipment to run it, not too bad. But, I would guess that isn't the case, since the last 327 put in a Vette didn't have the accessory holes in the front of the heads to mount '84 Camaro alternator, PS pump, AC, etc. Meaning this was probably a real hack job. Or whoever told you it has a "327 vette motor" is an out-&-out liar.

You'll have to have shops in your area look at it and give you estimates. Since the car can't be driven there, you've got quite a task on your hands.
