head gasket with head skim,new bolts,cam belt etc 300 pounds, cost of S conversion depends if the engine you get matches your car ie,loom and wether it comes with un-locked ECU. As a guide, we charge 300-400 pounds for full conversion kit dependant on mileage and would want 250 pounds fitting including new cam belt and oil/filter change prior to installation
