he current price for the conversion kit is $5000.00 but will vary slightly depending on the year model and version of the engine. Some of the modified items will be based on a swap for a good core. We can supply the Northstar engine and transmission package installed on a modified cradle. We recommend using the latest engines available. The price for these packages will vary depending on the year model and mileage. An approximate price is an additional $4,500-$6,000.
