yea, I doubt you will find a motorset for that much. I would do some research on how much this project costs.

If you'll have 3000 you are still about 4000 away from doing it right

What trans are you gonna use? You gonna fab your own motor mounts and driveshaft? You gonna keep twins? Whos doing the wiring? I think you have no clue about this swap. If the swap was that cheap, everyone would do a RB instead of a SR.
