starts with just buying the engine.. then the engine management and the trans fit.
we already surpassing 3.5K without any fun parts.

I have $500 into the 2 Eagle 5.7's I own, hopefully I can do a re-ring and maybe bearings and have a good shortblock. Last I checked I could get the heads cleaned up and my upgraded springs installed for $200.

Here is the running total I have.

Core 2017 Hemi (Truck)	$400.00
Holley Swap Headers	$485.95
Holley Motor Mounts	$226.75
Holley Oil pan w/ pickup	$475.18
Used PCM	$100.00
OE harness(es)	$120.00
6.4 cam and springs	$401.29
Dipstick and PS hoses	$137.94
90 degree adapter	$167.76
6.4 Intake (used)	$310.37
SPECTRA CR11E gas tank	$158.79
Used C5 Camaro fuel module	$75.00
GTO tank to cut ring out of	$100.00
VaporWorx FPRAGM5	$14.99
Exhaust	$408.90

Total	$3,582.92

Still short stuff like the car TC cover, water pump, radiator/fan, etc. so a long ways to go, but I feel like I have the big ticket items except new OEM lifters which I expect to be $600.

Note that prices are only going up and some of the these parts were at a good deal stage and the headers aren't even available anymore from Holley.

Here are my projected numbers to finish the swap:

Tuning	$250.00
Lifters	$600.00
Car Timing cover (used)	$100.00
Alternator	$200.00
Water Pump	$150.00
Radiator/fan	$250.00
Gaskets, ring, bearings	$400.00
Crossmember	$100.00

Total	$2,050.00
