Parts at least $1500
Cam springs and pushrods $650
Chain pump and lifters $300
Gaskets and miscellaneous $200
Converter $400
Labor will be a lot. Cam swap & converter is an easy 8+ hour job for someone who knows LS motors really really well. I only know of a couple LSX shops in dfw and won't vouch for any at this point, because I honestly am not sure what kind of reputation they have currently. I am sure some might be great, but can't say for sure at the moment. It's not Houston or San Antonio where its easy to name a few. If you're willing to drive to temple swg is one I would trust.

I have all the parts. Ready to go. I've been working 90/95 hours a week and would like to just give my truck to someone I can trust so I can just drive it. I'm really a dyi kind of guy just wondering if it will be worth the money to send it to someone.

If you have 100% of the parts I would guess 8hour job and $80-120/hour. Plus a tune I am guessing.

Look up Billy Ray Motorsports in Burleson Tx, give him a call tell him Martin recommended him for a hook up. He has done a ton of work for me and a few members here. He is the record holder for a few Texas mile cars.
