For someone doing on on their own, which I could and would not do, you could do it for about $10-15,000 in parts for a straightforward NA motor, plus a huge amount of time, and assuming you had access to engine puller/hoist, engine stand, eshaft puller, and all the other tools needed. You need to be dedicated, extremely capable and knowledgeable, poor, have lots of time, and be very very patient. Not me...
