I did all the work myself and bought a stage 2 clutch for 190$ on ebay. I would go for the clutch and flywheel from ebay for 450$ if I were doing it again. The cross member cost me nothing but 10$ for the wire on my welder since I had some scrap metal off the donor car I stripped that i used. I'm totaling around 860$ with out drive shaft right now. So in the long run I will have spent around 1400$ high estimate. I also only bought the car for 300$ with bad tranny hehehehehehe To have some one else do the job from what I have researched it is around a $4,000+ job and parts are included... Couldn't tell you how much it would cost for some one just to do the work. Sorry. Hope this helps. Oh and I used a 1997 Subaru Impreza L wagon for my swap. I do not plan to use this car for much racing for it is out of a 2.2L car and the tranny will not hold up to the motor long if I do. Regular driving will be fine. Hope this helps.


If you would like to check it out here are some photos of my swap.
