The price of the kit is $1500. That does not include the engine, wiring harness or fuel injection computer. Prices they had paid for the latter ranged from $350 to $1000. Should be able to do the conversion for less than the cost of a dealer installed motor ($3000). I have a catalog coming that should tell more.
