Cost depends on how properly you want to do the conversion. Ie, you could make a 1G conversion really cheap by just swapping the engine and doing the fuel/electrics stuff to get it going. If you want to do it properly, youll also need to upgrade brakes, diff, and get it engineered which does end up costing a lot more. With the 1UZ and 1J conversions, youll pretty much have to upgrade the diff (stock wont last long with these engines), and brakes is pretty much a must if you dont want to kill yourself. Im doing a 1UZ conv to my RA28 atm, and its going to cost quite a bit more than i originally though (doesnt it always though?). Original estimate was ~$8000, but now that has gone up to ~$11,000. But that includes engine, front brakes, new front suspension & steering rack conversion, W58 conversion, G series diff and new wheels. See my thread about this conversion in my sig.
