What year is your car? I've had guys tell me that they have been quoted $1200-$1500 to swap for the 99+.

yeah, its a 99...

for the block fully assembled, i paid $3150. install was free. gotta love mechanics as family members.

what assembled block do you guys think is the best one to put in...(dss, vt, etc)

My mustang will be getting a Modular Performance big-bore aluminum block some time in the next year or so. I just need to wait until I get another vehicle so that I can afford to have the stang not working for a couple weeks.

I suggest that you save your money and get family/friends to come and help you put in your motor. That's what I did with both of my Porsches and then I took it to a specialist for $500 who fine tuned everything and fixed a couple of mistakes that we made. It's going to cost you close to $2k to get the motor put in and running correctly if you hire some one to do it.
