You would be lucky to get the engine and box for under a grand mate. What box though? F28?

u see my xe project engine alone stands me around 3.5k

dont want to spend a fortune but if i was going to do this when my other one is finished i could use the time between now and then to pick up some bargains in the for sale ads and researching the best way to do it for budgeting etc etc

budget the same on a turbo, if not more, or it will cost you more in the long run
