Loving the motor swap but the wide body kit just doesn't do it for me.

Unbelievable! Celebrity SC430, the 570 swap, all of it!!! My neighbor has a tuned 2008Tundra (exhaust/intake) and it sounds bad!!! Would love to do this swap too.

There is a 08 5.7 Tundra engine on eBay right now for $4k, tranny is another $900. I would think you would need engine, drivetrain, tranny and wiring harnesses/ecu. It's probably the electrical labor that is most expensive. If I had to estimate labor plus parts would be over $10k. Again...I'd have a hard time justifying. If you want speed that much, why not by a nice older C5 Corvette and mod the hell out of that? For about $15k you could have two cars...the SC for the luxo cruiser and the vette for the white knuckle no frills hot rod. I know of several in the low teens $$ $10-$15k locally. Here are a few...just a thought. You could also consider a mustang cobra too. Not as cool.
