With a brand new top end, flex plate, arp fasteners, torque converter, hei, headers and serpentine setup from the junkyard i am somewhere in the neighborhood of 3500 bucks. I could post a parts list if you need one for reference. This thing is beautiful and brawny. It WILL burn the tires right off if you want it to. I feel little need for a cam swap. There is plenty of power down low and it pulls well through the entire rpm range most ppl will use in a truck.

As for warranty, my understanding is it's 12 months 12,000 miles if not installed in 96 to 2000 truck/van/original application
Oh! I missed the update before I posted. Congrats on a successful upgrade!
