Default 82 needs heart transplant, recomendations??

The motor in my 82 went to motor heaven the other day. I am thinking about the ZZ4. How much can I pick it up for and overall how much do you think it would cost to complete this project. I know labor rates vary but figure on $80 and hour. I am want to get a general idea of what this is going to set me back. Also what other parts will I need for this heart transplant.
What kind of performance can I expect with this motor?
Any complaints or recomendations?
Thanks in advance

Just remember that our computer controls the lock out feature for the torque convertor, so you will have to keep that.

Joe.

Go here and look around before you jump on the ZZ4, ask for a recomendation for you crossfire before you purchase one that might not work good with the Xfire
