you should budget yourself at least $1500 or more depending on if you already have the supporting mods and what gen s/c you plan on running. Your going to need...

-GTP LIM
-GTP Heads & valve covers
-GTP s/c & pulley
-GTP harmonic balancer
-GTP throttle body
-GTP fuel rails
-GTP injectors
-GTP belt tensioner
-GTP coil pack bracket (Im almost positive your going to need the dogbone brakets, not 100% though)
-MAF
-vacume lines
-coolant
-oil & filter
-belt, colder spark plugs, along with all the bolts and gaskets to complete the job.

you going to need some other odds and end pieces that don't come to mind right now...check out the sticky top swap thread. You are also going to need a really good tune in order to run it.

you really shouldn't even think about doing the top swap unless you already have a plog or headers, 180* t-stat, CAI, DP with u-bend delete, and a shift kit wouldn't be a bad idea as well.
