The header, mount, wiring guide (from KEP), throttle kit (Mastercraft), PS hose (Smallcar), Shiels thermo housing, adapter/flywheel (KEP from Mastercraft) , 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. Later ... I spent $120 on the MasterCraft stainless coolant return line and $50 on two head gaskets (an afternoon job with the engine installed). |
