Between $500 and $10,500, probably.

You can use stock fuel system from the mustang. Holley EFI will do the rest for about $1500
Then it is just what ever you spend on the swap.

EFI is the only way to do. My car is EFI and dads was carb this year and in the middle of EFI swap right now.

I'm hoping to have our project car done for 3k. We already have the car, engine, trans, most of the fuel system, and pcm and harness harness out of a truck so those are not included in the cost.

My question is how much for you to paint my house? Oh wait you have never seen my house is it 1,2,3 stories? Stucco or brick? What kind of paint cheap stuff or the good stuff. That question reminds me of my wife's friend asking " How much does a Ford F-150 cost?" just too many variables.

I always tell a customer embarking on a new project that the total cost will be "double the original budget plus 20% and you will be just a bit short."

when my coupe was a LS1 cam only (very small cam 225 dur,585 lift) headers, 3:73's, 3200 conv, all stock 4 cyl suspension, 235 60 drag radials you could drive it all day, go to the track and leave it in drive and run a string of 11:60's and with a wet 100 shot nozzle go 10:90's. I have a/c and p/s and nothing taken out of the car.

Here is a good start. Go to the S-E-A-R-C-H button and type in Mustang......the only Mustangs that should be in this forum will be an LSx swap. Start reading. See what parts they used and research there prices. Do your homework bro. Im in the middle of a swap right now. So far I have all the Mustang driveline pulled out and a 02 model LQ4 bought and a set of LS3 heads.
