    Interested in a complete or almost complete swap kit. Time for boost.

    I know we've beaten this horse pretty bad around here...no one makes a specific "kit" for the eaton swap. It is pretty much all self-combined. There are many friends on this forum who have used their considerable engineering and fabricating skills to aid in the process, but if you use the search function on this forum, it will yield you a few things:

    1. A list of all item needed to gather for your "personal kit"

    2. Master Mechanics (Chris Curless in Michigan, and Mo's Speed Shop in Georgia to name two) who can do the whole she-bangy-bang FOR you and you never get your hands dirty.

    3. A lot of love from your peers on this forum who are cheering you on!

    ALL THIS AND MORE...if the Budget is RIGHT! (Godspeed friend! We really are excited for you!)

    I think I’ve seen one complete kit sold here in the last decade.

    For as long as it takes to gather all the bits, I can’t see anyone not installing it and selling it off.

    Also, complete seems to have many different views. Just remember it’s the smalls that eat your wallet.

    If you want, I have a Eaton swap kit. I’d sell it, not cheap.

    As a point of reference, I assembled my Eaton swap “kit” for ~$4K in 2019

    Exactly. $4K for parts only. Then you have to factor a couple grand for install, 500 for a tune, another 500 if you don’t already have a scanner. So plan on anywhere from $5K (if you wrench yourself) to $8K. That still doesn’t include headers/exhaust, trans cooler, rear gears, etc. So yeah, it adds up quick!

    I would add that I would expect to pay even more for a fully assembled “kit” from a member on here. They’ve done the research, gathered all the right parts, and taken the guesswork out. That’s worth something.

    i offered my kit to the op for 5 grand minus the heavy car battery and bulky heat exchanger. His reply back was he would do 5 grand installed. That qualifies for lowball.net haha...
    The guy you just yelled at for no reason sold a kit to Marty for $5500 like 4 years ago. He wasn’t rude. Jfc
