First off, I am new to this forum and this is my first post. I just got an 80 series that I am beginning to build out for overloading. I have a 1996 without lockers. That will be changing soon as I will be re-gearing and putting in an ARB rear locker. (front one, too when my wallet recovers) I will also be putting an Icon stage 3 suspension in.
Now the reason for this thread. I eventually want to do an LS motor swap. I don't have the talent, like so many here on the board do, to do the work myself. Can anyone give me a ballpark figure after the cost of the motor how much it cost to get it installed? I know a bunch of things must be modified to make it work. I am a planning freak (I have a masters degree in strategic planning after all). I would like to get an idea to start saving money as I don't like to use debt.
Thank you ahead of time to all those who take time to contribute.
