If you do it your self, Its about $2000-$3000
If you already have the engine etc, should be less than $2000

Pretty much what I was going to say.
Expenses directly attributable to my engine conversion came to about $1600, including $600 for the engine. A lot more than that has been spent along the way to upgrade things that complement the conversion.
From the lib you'll need engine with all ancillaries, ECU and the engine-ECU wiring harness. Some people also use Lib radiator, but AFAIK that requires some body work to fit.
Have a look around - there are plenty of good build threads.

And if you can do without bright colours and shiny bits, it'll probably be a bit cheaper
Forgot to mention, my cost was based on doing all the work myself.

Wasn't talking about the bright colours and shiny bits that came to $2000, its more the new parts, new clutch kit, new engine mounts, new Tbelts, Wpump, idlers, loom cut down, fans, custom twin core radiator, exhaust, etc etc etc
Paint may add about $100 max lol

Just have a look at what you need and make a list.. write down some prices next to it, then start saving.. you'll never regret it
