Been seeing a few threads like this popping up lately. The short answer...lots of money.

This should give you an idea of what you're looking at money and labor wise:

Not worth it. Unless car was free and have plans on making it a drag car only. Could make a little over $1500 in v6 parts. Put towards the build. I'm thinking around 4-4500. Might be wrong. Good luck
