the bodies themselves were 67 quid off ebay for a set of handa blackbird ones

then made my own inlet manifold

and made up my own engine loom with a megasquirt engine management system and bolted it on and then started mapping it

in total cost me just shy of 500 quid but 350 of that was the engine management.
