Then another 1k+ for install and tune. If there was another 5k on top of that no one in the US would add F/I to this car. They would just do a motor swap. Which might not be a bad idea for you. 2013 86 with a good body. Swap in a LS2 crate motor. I think the whole swap including engine and transmission is like 12k installed in the US. You can sell the old motor and tranny to get a bit of the money back.
12k and then another 5k to engineer the new motor :P
