If you look into the electric power train swaps they can easily run into 6 figures.
For now. The swap industry is still new and every drivetrain has to be built from bespoke parts and a lot of labor- when electric becomes mandatory and not a luxury, there will be a blossoming industry of ready-made battery and motor/transmission kits meant to adapt commonly built cars over to electric. When it goes from weeks of wiring and fabricating to a day or two of unbolting parts, those swap costs will drop to economically feasible levels. And since we’ll likely never see an economic electric car under $40k in our lifetime… there’s a lot of value to have there.
And “successful” in every other industry is a bit of a stretch. Tolerated, sure, and the modern consumer is braindead enough to think it’s OK. It is my personal preference that any modern car with this stuff baked into it is a failure and I will never touch one with a ten foot pole, they can go fuck themselves with that rent seeking.

Same thing.
The swap industry is still new
It isn’t.
Let me know when you find one for a GT86.
