500-600. can vary a little more depending on whether you buy 'privately' or from an importer etc

also need:

-bellhousing
-clutch spline changed from T50-W58 (should cost less than 100)
-gearbox mount (stock, most gearboxes will come with one)
-gearbox crossmember (custom)
-shorten tailshaft and change front yoke, or get a whole new tailshaft made up (200-500). apparently you can just use the front-half of a certain car's tailshaft and match it up with the rear half of an ae86 shaft, but i don't know which one
-speedo drive stuff

I do believe that an RA40 front half tailshaft works with the AE86 rear half and a W5X box.

i will be giving an ra28 front half a work out. from eye guestimates its a similar length to an 86jdm jobbie. but yeah, dont think its actually been confirmed although i hear like above that an ra40 is the closest.

[ae86ln]

does any of the standard sprinter clutch stuff need to changed

RA40 front half works.... using it on mine..

[DR86FT]

wat about with t series diff?

[Golberg]

Same as if you were using a T50 box and an AE86 front half.

T18 or JDM AE86 rear half.
