My subaru conversion came in at $1800. That is pushing it though, and using
a free donor car.
I have the reversed manifild, but not the shortened pan, but also changed a
lot of things that are not necessarily subie related, since I was in there
anyway, like the clutch, collant pipes, etc etc.
Give yourself a budget of $3000 and you are comfortable.
Or spend $5000 and get the zetec kit, have way less work.
