Plan on some pretty good money. Here's a breakdown of what it cost me with me doing the work http://home.earthlink.net/~bzdel/PhaseISwapCost.htm

As for your other questions, you may want to do a search on this site and e-mail the others that have already performed this swap.

Depending on the price he pays for the engine and trans, it is very easy to spend in excess of $10,000 doing this swap. Also consider who is doing the work, if you have to pay someone to do it, that will add up to a bunch more.
