well first of all where are you located so perhaps someone can direct you to a good repair facility...

cost....depends...shop our vendors...if you want stock parts GMPartshouse or Parts Taxi both sell the packages....my last swap I went with the LS7 setup in my blown 99...labor will be more than parts
