Well lately ive decided that within this year im going to do a 3L swap. Since i was talked out of the SVT 2.5 Swap. Since i will only be doing this once i want to get it done right the first and only time. Here is the list of all the parts i want plus their approximate cost. Please tell me if im correct.

full 01+ Oval port engine -1000
3L heads PnPed to split port manifolds -1200
MSDS Headers, Y-pipe, and gaskets -700
SVT UIM/LIM/TB -600
Ebay SRI -40
GMK CAI extension -75
UIM Extrude Honed -300
TB optimized -75
75 Shot Nitrous -600(?)
SVT cams -350
DMD with attachement bolt -91
Underdrive pullies for alt/PS bypass AC -200(?)
svt radiator -100
svt oil cooler -100
Tranny Cooler -75
Red engine bay hoses(i want for looks) -100
ADC Chip -400
Misc. Gaskets, Fluids, Coolant, Etc -200
Engine hoist, and misc tools -150


Sub total 5550 without pullies and nitrous or 6350 with them. It will take me about a year to save and buy all these things.
Is my list correct? and would i be pulling 200+ FWHP without nitrous on an ATX? All work will be done by my father and me.

If you run the SVT radiator, you will need to run an external transmission cooler. I would expect around 180-185hp to the front wheels.

yep, thats why i have an external tranny cooler in my list. so are the loses that parasitic over the MTX? ive seen some 3L swaps with not all the odds and ends i have get right at 200-215 FWHP
