If you look in the right places im sure you could get all parts needed for about £500 and then im sure some people off here would do it for a few hundren fitting.

Depends what you define as a few

If you get it rebuilt then that's some extra £££ right there.

Also depends if the car is ready to handle the engine i.e. suspension & brakes.

There's no need for discs on the back IMO, uprate the fronts instead.

For a garage to supply and fit an engine, shaft and hubs you're looking at about £1500-2000 depending where you go. But as said, if you find someone privately that's good at doing it you could save a couple of hundred. But bear in mind you won't get any sort of warrenty or piece of mind should it fuck up.

It really wouldnt, a few grand is about the norm to do a conversion from a garage
