For the stuff from KAD, I believe your looking at about £3000, thats just for the head, cams, etc. You then need to sort yourself out with a block, gearbox, clutch and cooling system capable of taking that amount of power.

I believe Dan Webster is a member on MiniFinity and 16V Mini Club, and I think he's said his engine has cost about £11k, whether that includes the couple of gearboxes he's had I'm not sure.

A Vtec conversion you'll be looking at anything between £2500-15000 depending on what you need/want to do to your car. Not sure on the Suzy, ask GodZander, he's doing one at the moment.
