Yeah it is, for the average person it would run around $4.5K - $6K in parts (Not including fab if you take it somewhere, or tools to do it yourself).

My profit would be little, but that little extra to me would save someone the hassle of figuring out the fabrication, and the trial and error of the little things to add or change to save them from... Well, effing the bay up because they should've tied this here, not there, or strapping down the motor mounts, or recessing the radiator, or running this fan, not that fan. All stuff that no one knew, so they couldn't tell me. The few that did know never said anything to me when I asked so I went in blind, and had a grand in repairs after one month because the motor torquing over and the mechanical fan hitting the shroud, destroying my coolant reservoir, upper radiator hose, the radiator, and my top radiator support, with more little things here and there.

So for me, it's easy to justify my original asking price for swaps. It's not just parts and labor. It's knowledge along with custom fab work. I know what not to do now.

Either way, I want to help the community and I could use the extra money to buy cool garage tools . Plus I like doing this stuff. I think it would be nice someday to do like Rudy and get companies behind me to powdercoat the stuff as the motor goes in, but I haven't even had one swap customer yet, so that's a pipe dream at this point.
