2K for swap w/lsd
$500 to $800 for install into an EG..involves removing the passenger mount and wiring
$500 Hasport H22 mounts
$300-$500 for alxes depending stage and brand
=so your looking at something around $3,600
But you have stock motor that can run high 13's to low 14's depending on car and driver with plenty more potential and ive seen stock h22 with bolts in the 12's( on slicks)

But!! You left out a few other things, like intermediate shaft, fuel rail, fuel line, FPR (depending on what route he went with his fuel setup), front springs. What about water pump and timing belt? Cant forget about doing those. Clutch? Flywheel? Cant depend on the clutch being in good condition from wherever it came from, so you have to at least replace that so throw a clutch kit into that figure too. The flywheel at the very least is going to have to be resurfaced if not replaced all together for something lighter, so throw in either a resurfacing job or a new wheel. Dont forget new belts and rad hoses......
Bottom line, unless you've got a decent amount of pennies sittin around, the H is just not the most cost effective swap to do.
