I have also asked what the cost of a k-swap for my del sol. My motor isn't blown so I could sell it (for peanuts I guess) to recover some cost plus gearbox etc. and people were still telling me to budget 10K+ to kswap comfortably.
Either option is going to be expensive it seems. Instead of looking at how much it's going to cost, you should probably consider the option that's going to be easier and quicker to complete (finding quality reliable parts etc).
Simply put, finding a B18C7 in good working order will be much harder than sourcing a K.
This is just my 2c. End of the day, the choice is yours and you'll be the one living with it.
