Well the eagle has landed! My baby is finally back in my garage and looking, well, remarkably like a car again considering how completely stripped down she was when it rolled out of the garage and up to Carriage House Customs. It took a hell of a lot of work and without the excellent craftsmanship from the folks at Carriage House it would never EVER have been possible. Overall the cost was something I could stomach and much better than a few other conversion kits (Infact carriage house still has all the jigs if others want the same conversion completed) that I had looked at.
The real cost that came into this whole upgrade was the dry sump conversion as that is where the majority of cash was spent with the cooler, hose, dry sump itself and other related expenses. Behind that was the cost of the rework of the engine cradle. I hope to have a full break down of costs and work that was done here in the near future when I get a shot after the car is running here and gets it annual tech finished on April 21st. I would love to have this become a guide to other looking to do the conversion as while it was tough I think the upgrade to the newer engine will be well worth while.
Tonight with the help of my buddies Rob and Eric we got the wiring harness, fuel cell and battery back in the car and working. All in all about 4 hours of time which isn’t bad at all considering the knowledge base of doing this on a DSR was zero. 
Main trick was just getting the wiring correct as there were some interesting bits dealing with the change from the 99-03 engines using a power interrupt based starter switch to the 04-06 motors using a grounded starter switch. Once we worked through that it was testing circuits and THANK GOD the fuel pump spun up AND the starter kicked on for a brief second (”hey rob try it now! BuZZZZZZ”). Thursday night hopefully will be dedicated to finishing up the wiring harness and plumbing in the fuel system as well as the new remote water pump.
I will snap pictures of the work as it progresses but here are some as she came straight back from the shop on Friday.
