That's a bit short of what it will cost bro. Conversions aren't cheap. That's the price of a turbo kit. This is a full driver-train and differential we're talking about. Along with new engine mounts.
It's going to cost you more than that.

I didn't say it would cost that. I said that is what I would commit. I'm well aware of the price of full drivetrain conversions. The idea is that if he can get enough of us to commit, he could possibly drive the price down to something semi reasonable, in the range I ascertained as "not breaking the bank". Perhaps I am wrong, but most people on this forum can barely afford an intake, let alone a drivetrain conversion, so I thought my price range was within reason.
if i get a diy i could get this done on my own in a year and a half (about the time i'm going to have my own place while at college) but from everything i can see from the frame wouldnt you have to cut the cross bar near the firewall for the tranny? so even if you did make a kit you still have to take it to a shop to get that part redone right?

Come on people, let's keep this on topic. Who would be willing to schell out the major cash it will cost. You would also need to pay labor fees and re-route your exhaust.
Who would seriously buy it? Not just would like to buy it. Would buy it.

Pick the right one.

dude, i also think you'd have to reregister your car with the dept. stating that it's no longer fwd if you plan on making you car legal...idk the laws exactly, but that's what i heard one guy tell me who tried to convert his ride...i don't think spending the money would be worth it personally, but that's me...buy yourself another car and get it over with...
what platform do you plan on using to get the rwd from btw, if you don't mind me asking
