My build was a bit north of 10K but I also had the heads machined as well.

you say, 10k, did you do the work yourself? or are these just parts costs? if 10k is what I'm going to spend I might as well go all in for an ls swap. I'm not scared of doing it myself. If something goes bad or it isn't assembled properly by myself due to a piston not seated correctly or something else, i'm not worried about spending a few extra hundred more and redoing it. but 10k??? that's an insane amount...
