So yes, not only would you stay weight-neutral with the stroker, but it would cost at least 1/2 to 1/3 the cost of the V10 conversion.
Dinan doesn't have headers -- RD Sport does. The RD Sport headers are VERY labor intensive. However, $7k is not that far out of line considering the only alternative are Ericsson headers -- which I believe cost over $10,000 USD.

I don't think I've ever doubted you or what you know, but 60-90k ? you can buy a complete M5 for that. who would spend that on a motor alone?
I think it should be signifcantly less
