I'm hoping to convert my 1966 I6 200 to a V8. What should I expect to spend for this? I'm really interested in a weekend cruiser with just a bit more pick-up. Not a racer. I see good crate engines for about $3,000. Some used engines of unknown quality and perhaps incomplete starting as low as $500. But what would it cost to have someone do the work? I know there is a longish list of other parts too. Suggestions? Getting a doner V8 was suggested but I'm afraid I'd be stuck with the shell afterward.
