Which two engines? The VQ and VH or the VH and 4g63(eclipse)?
As far as time goes, I really haven't spent all that much time on it. Most of it has been waiting for custom parts to arrive.

Especially VQ.
VH: $14,000 not including fittings, manifolds, motor mounts, vbands, drive shaft, and any misc expense I might encounter.
VQ: $12,000 (I'm pretty sure I'm leaving things out).
VQ: $12,000 (I'm pretty sure I'm leaving things out).
Since I'm running 180 degree manifolds, I had to move the oil filter.
This is a simple fix to the problem but I suspect I have to modify it a bit more since I don't have the bracket to the A/C compressor.
I'll find out later today if it will work or not.

Off topic: Taste of Lexus event in Miami
Test driving the new IS-F on a mustang dyno
Pros: Car felt ridiculously fast on the dyno, sexy curves and ///M style interior.
Cons: They wouldn't give me the damn printout and the HP numbers were a big secret.

Hit me up in a few months and I'll let you know what the final price will be. I'll be offering a more affordable N/A version as well.

Ballin doesn't describe the awesomeness of this, lol, in a Z this would be listed as "Sinister"...I want an idea of what this will cost as well, specially cause I can get my hands on the motor...
