Default Lsx 454?

I'm really interested in putting this motor in my car someday. My question is, what all is required for this swap and about how much will it cost me? Thanks for all your input

(for GMPP LSX 454) Engine itself is 9300. Not including shipping. Then you will need LS7 flanged headers. LS7 FI intake. Fuel rail. 4 bolt cable TB. Map sensor extension. Fuel injectors. LS2 cam and knock sensor extension harness. New gm oil pan gasket. New gm oil pump o ring. 58x-24x converter box. 9 bolt flexplate and/or flywheel. Remote coil mounts/wires. New GM crank bolt for when you have to take the corvette balancer off of it. Water pump gaskets.

Short answer = alot of money.

We can build you a complete engine to your liking for less than this cost for about the same CID and power. Obviously without the GM 2yr/50k warranty, but that is the only shining point of the engine to date really.
