i believe hinson sells a s14 complete conversion kit for 4k+ before you get down to the extras here and there.

A decent amount of companies now sell the swap like sikky and the interesting thing is an ls1 actually weighs less than the ka due to aliminum versus cast iron. Plus motors like the LS series are so much simpler to work on and easier to make better power with a better powerband do to the fact that a nice n/a setup will make power whereas the ka and sr F/I is necessary.
