There really isn't a ceiling on how much you can spend but for a basic conversion that somebody else is doing for you drive in drive out I would say $8-9k.

This includes:

Buying front cut
Making frame
Fuel
Exhaust
drivehsafts
alternator bracket
oil filter recolation
brake lines
gear changer mechanism

In my guestimate of $8-9k, $3k was for someone to make a subframe.

I've seen a 1098 pull 91+ HP, on a real engine dyno too, not a chassis dyno with smoke and mirrors. :lol:

So you're making an 1100 go faster than a standard 1275 which require disk brakes because you don't want disc brakes. :roll:

I would fit disc brakes to a standard worn out 850 before I put a hot 1100 in it. It's just me I guess... I love being able to stop!
