If you plan on going the cheap route (using as much stuff from your 302 as possible) then don't let anyone fool you into thinking that it is not much more than a 302 swap. There are a lot of things that need to be changed that can add up pretty quickly.... of course, it also depends on whether you were planning on upgrading that stuff in your 302 anyway (in which case, it may cancel out the added cost of going with the taller deck block).
However, if you are pricing the difference between a really good 302 build and a really good 351 build, then the pricing won't be much different since, in both cases, you'll likely be bying all new stuff anyway.
