congrats on the build. what was the total cost if you don't mind me asking? just for the engine swap. what did you end up cutting? did you by any chance have to fabricate any body parts to make it work?

Well under 15k and less than 5k out of pocket after selling my old setup. That's for the swap, single turbo setup, fuel system, and a few other things.

Only thing cut was the transmission supports that are webbed into the chassis. Metal is thin in that area so we reenforced it with steel plate. Outside of that fabrication is basically what a swap is into mostly every other car.
