How long is a piece of string?

It would cost as much as the cheapest quote you can get from a local performance workshop. I'm not being silly or dificult here, but no estimate we can give in here is really going to be any use unless you can find a performance workshop who by coincidence quotes the same price.

Engine/box/ecu/loom - $3500
Brakes - $500
Fuel pump/system - $??
Engine/gearbox mounts/custom tailshaft/installation - anywhere up to $3000 or more depending on who you ask.

If you don't do anything yourself, you'll be lucky to get it on the road for under 10k.
However if you it yourself like me it goes something like this
Engine/loom/ecu - free!
Brakes - $500?
Fuel system $50
Engine/g'box mounts - free!

My friend is doing a swap in his s13 so I get it all for free cause I'm gonna help him, good deal or what!

I think you've comprehensively missed the point he was making... If you take your car to AB&C performance cars and ask them to do the engine swap, you are likely to pay through the proverbial.
