Probably at least another one or two thousand dollars worth, easily more
depending on how much you want to scrounge and fabricate yourself.

Bostig has a complete kit o put a Ford Zetec in.  It's roughly $5,000 I
think, plus the engine itself (only a few hundred more, they are as
common as dirt).  I think they are the only ones who sell a truly
"complete" kit.  If I were contemplating an inline 4 swap, that's what
I'd do.
