Also looking at 2JZ stuff, but the Chevy's are just easier to find. Blew motor recently, looking at options.

You can get pretty much everything you need from Sikky for the swap parts apart from the engine and trans. I'd plan on $20-25K without getting crazy for a LS3 done right without a built motor. You can also get a brand new crate LS3 with tranny for about $14K, buddy just bought one for his Factory Five.
You can't get into a 2JZ swap done right for anything under $35K in my opinion. When you've got stock high miles GTE motor for $7K that needs a full refresh on gaskets/water pump/oil pump, stand alone and wiring harness hitting for $5K easily, single turbo conversion $3-7K, custom radiator, intercooler piping, FMIC, etc. I'll be in closer to $60K on my 2JZ but that's fully built, big turbo, Ford 8.8, big fueling, etc.
