what it sounds like you want to know how much someone with charge you to do it for you? well to factor in a workshop charge rate, all the stuff to do the total conversion (every small thing ads up)... honestly, its probably just best you bite the bullet and sell the acclaim and get yourself an SS or something with an 8 from factory... save yourself time, effort, and money... Just being realistic about it man... sorry

Yip sell your car and buy a VS V8. Otherwise paying someone drive in drive out your looking at $5-7k+ for a basic auto setup
