3sgte swap price, I want to do a 3sgte swap, but need to know ballpark price Options

[6g25th]

I have a 1996 st and I was thinking of doing a 3sgte swap. I found a brand new engine at toysport.com that costs $4500. Lets say I pay that for the engine alone, for anybody who knows, how much more would you say it would cost for additional parts. I am guessing that it will be around $8000 in total, but I would like to know from people who have completed the swap how much they paied. I don't want to get a clip or a used engine because I am afraid that it will have high milage and it won't last very long. I am planning on keeping my car for a very long time and I would like the engine to last for that amount of time.
