don't have a list.. maybe my "to do " list on the first page.. i didnt pay full price on some stuff so id say prices vary.. You can start with the LS Swap kit from Fueled Racing . with that youll get oil pan, motor & trans mounts, longtube headers , driveshaft ... you'll need a harness . i got one from psi conversion ... Looks like the TT prices are high but Ls prices could be high also.. You could get a TT kit used (or buy separate parts ) and pay less , you could also get a Ls eng& trans used (or buy separate ) and pay less... You could check the site Ls1tech.com , ebay , car-parts.com

i read a story/blog somewhere where a guy bought a wrecked chevy van at a junk yard. he used the engine for his swap and parted out the rest of the van to where it pretty much paid for the swap
