it's a fair amount of work to do them. best to ask the garage you want to do the work really. at least a few hours work there.

Youd be best off running a full 8v system aswell

The only tricky part about changing a full system is the manifold.  In my opinion, if u've got the time you'll save yourself a 3 figure sum if you do it yourself.  depends how confident you are.  mybe you could put everything on yaself apart from the manifold and get the garage just to do that?  ;)
