I agree K10, LS Fuel injection is the way to go!
I think you did darn good with the tranny included & VAT removed. Out here the wrecking yards don't usually do the VAT (anti theft). Usually the computer will need to be reprogrammed. it's about $300 bucks and worth the startup expense, a good tuner will optimize for your setup.(Cam,Headers,tiresize & gearing).
We spent $1400.00 for a 2006' 6 liter with accessories. We did light up the dash to see 6000 miles on the wrecked van, before pulling the engine.
