Taka, I've been involved with a few, let me know if you have any specific
q's, cost could be anything, I'd say budget at least $4 or 5K by the time its
done, including the "while I'm in there" phenomena.  3B is definitely the way
to go, wiring is quite simple really, esp. compared to an MC swap.  Power
steering pump bracket needs to be fabricated.  Only negative is cost of parts
compared to an MC, other than that it goes in smoothly.
