You'll need to change the clutch cable to hydraulic, engine - depends where you get it from, bellmark figure could be $1200 - $1600, loom & ECU from the half cut is required, re-wire etc so your looking at 2 grand under 3 grand.
Others here will tell you...

To do it properly, you are probably looking at over $5k
Hidden costs include upgraded brakes, radiator, fuel pump, wiring modification to name a few.
Are you planning on doing all the mechanical work yourself, or paying a mechanic?

1600 for the engine from wreckers, with a warrenty mind you.
6speed is another 1300 if im correct
Youd need fuel pump, computer, ancilleriers
BUT
Did the car come out with the twin turbo option??
the loom may be the same, just going on the fact its possible to change a twin to single turbo engine without many mods

Spike, I'll take 3 of your 6 speeds at $1,300!
There is a lot of info on here...search and you will find
Do not overlook a modified H6 conversion either.
Also has a look on RSLC.
As for for twins, avoid them like AIDS!
