Here is what it cost to put a '91 Subaru 2.2 into my 1987 Vanagon
after the VW engine put a rod thru the case. This is from a post I
sent to the Subaruvanagon list after I was done.

$2109.87 was the total spent (near as I can tell) including shipping and taxes.

The header, mount, wiring guide, throttle kit, PS hose, Shiels thermo
housing, adapter/flywheel, was $1137.94

When you include a new radiator (my helper over torqued the bleed
bolt and cracked it), oil psi gauges, clutch & cat converter I spent
$500.42 at BusDepot.
These things were not necessarily part of the conversion, just things
that needed to be done.

$164.08 at the Subaru dealer (on-line). This was a new timing belt
and assorted seals & o-rings.

The donor ended up costing $185.

I have $122.23 in misc receipts from assorted FLAPS & hardware stores
including the hoses & hardware.
