Gday Satoshi,
Silvertop Engine, gearbox, Loom and ecu cost $1750 (remember this was well over a year ago, probably two.)
Whole conversion I would guess at about $2500-$3000 (once you add new radiator tank etc). I did a lot of the stuff myself, labour costs were very minimal, biggest cost was when I paid a local guy 'Grant' (i believe that's his name on here) to help me out with some of the wiring and that all went fairly smoothly. He was very helpful.
I have never to this day regretted the conversion, I believe this is because I knew exactly what I was after and I researched a lot - i didn't do it because a cartoon member happened to do it, or because my best mate only had a 16v so i had to go one better, or anything like that. I did it for myself 
My only advice is find out what exactly you're after, and then do a conversion to suit it. The 20v suited me to the ground, others prefer 4agze, 4agte hybrid, basically whatever floats ya boat, keep your ears open, try to listen to a heap of people and their opinion, weigh it all up and take the plunge.
I hope this helped you in some way,
Mat (Seeks).
