How much did it cost to cost to swap in your hemi?

You should really decide what you want for an end product. Just a gen 3 swap? Or completely resto mod with all the suspension and electronics? When my son and I first put a 5.7 in his 73 Scamp, it was a true budget build. Waited to find the absolute best deals on parts. We rebuilt an early core engine. Stock bottom end, deal on Eagle heads, 6.1 cam, and used the Prefix/Cascar carb intake. Stock K with stock suspension. 904 transmission. Even had exhaust manifolds to begin with. Manual brakes and steering. We did most of the work ourselves. We had to have a muffler shop bend up the lead pipes for us. When it was all said and done(we even figured in the purchase price of the car), we figured to have about 6500 in it. Give or take a little..... When you start adding in the tube suspension, complete fuel injection system, and paying someone to do it, you'll EASILY knock out 25k.... If(for sure) not more.
