The Harness is just a bit more expensive then a standard LS3. Now the LS9 stuff is alot more expensive but it is a much better assembly but at double the cost.
I think this is the BEST BANG for the buck crate engine out there.

The problem that I found is that not all radiator companies were willing to build a radiator with the intercooler setup. Actually, I only found Autorad was willing to build it. Ron Davis was willing to build the radiator, but not in Air to water intercooler setup. I got a price for an intercooler from Bell Intercoolers, but by the time that you added the Ron Davis radiator it was more than the Autorad. Mark Stielow is using a Dewitt radiator on Camaro XV, so that is the other option.
Cost for the custom AutoRad is $2300. heat exchanger water pump is about $200, LSA fead system is about $1000 (

Fuel tank with fuel pumps etc. LSA Fuel tank might be around $1200 or so. Mine was a bit more, but I have dual fuel pumps. Tuning, is around $400 to $800, etc.
So this figure is a bit off.
