Depends on the setup. Heres what I have planned for next mazda.

The Small Block 350 RamJet setup Fuel injected. Possibly just purchasing the Ramjet injection system instead modifying it to fit the Ls2 all aluminum engine.

the headers are clipster style, i got em from speedway motors. not a bolt on perfect fit, they sit about an 1/8&quot; from the frame at the collector end, i heated up both sides to tweak em in so the have about a 3/4&quot;. the passenger side collector will hit the floor, i have about a 12&quot; filler there. the radiator is a be cool universal, i think it's 26'' x 18'' x 2-1/2'' overall. i got more pics if you want to see more detail.

There is a guy in MD that will take a GM engine harness and cut it down to just what is needed to run the engine. Jim's Performance Harness.

Harness: 97 Chevy 4.3, Vortec out of a 1500. In these pictures, I have just gotten it back from him. He cut the harness, flashed the computer and tested it all, all for a decent price.

Little fuse block is for everything in the harness. OBD2 connector, fuel pump relay, everything needed to put it in any vehicle and start it up. Its all keyed from the factory, but he does label it to make it that much easier. Makes it a little more tempting to go fuel injection.

How much did he charge? the same motor out of an astro that I'm using. so far the plan was to just save everything up to the cab and sort what is necesary from there.

This is an Ultimate kit with a 5.0 F.I. I would always say F.I. over carb'd. This one used a half mustang, half mazda harness but I would recomend a Painless.
