Default '73 Stingray Conversion List Estimate (LSx+auto to manual)

Posted this up in corvette land and thought I'd cast a wider net for info. Just sold my Z06 so that dad and I can start a project we kept putting off. Long story short we're done putting it off so I'd like to wrap up the research phase of this while I'm waiting for my credit union to release the sale's funds over the next two weeks. I would just loooove it if I could get some more experienced eyes to look over my list and more than anything let me know if there's anything I've left off the list here, as well as help me keep my budget in line. I've tried to error on the side of caution but. . . anyways on with the lists!!

LM7 1999 & Older Pullout: $600-1000
-or-
LQ4/9 '01 or older Pullout: $1200-1400 (crank flange is too long in '00 and older)
