Very ROUGH ballpark, variables such as you doing the work change it a LOT. And I'm figuring low because you will say to yourself, "While I'm here, I may as well do _______." New heads, intake and new carb(s), headers, radiator, torque converter, Caltracs, brakes, suspension rebuild required for increased power, move from column shifter to floor, headlight relay kit, relocate battery to trunk, et cetera. It's never JUST an engine build/swap.

1. Keep the 360, $2k-$4k
2. Magnum crate, $4k-$6k
3. Gen 3 Hemi $10k, plus wiring and computer

your call.
