Subject:More 5-speed questions.

I've seen a lot of talk about the hurdles to putting in a 5-speed tranny,
as well as ideas on more appropriate gear ratio sizes.  What I haven't seen
is talk of $'s.  What are the costs associated with doing this project, and
what are the hitches financially- like shipping, core returns, etc.?  I'm
not a rich eccentric, but I'd love a fifth gear if it's not cost
prohibitive.  Thanks.
