Where the numbers come from

"Typical" hints: median listed price of LS swap mounts ($202) and LS oil pans ($500) in our vendor catalog. They're hints, not added to your total.
Sourced parts lists: picking one fills each line with the required parts from that vehicle's sourced list (not a full budget — the engine, transmission and more stay yours to price).
For reference: Ford Performance 5.0 Coyote crate (M-6007-M50C) $10,225; 475 hp 5.3 LS crate (a touch over $5k) $5,000.

Contingency is a cushion for the parts and surprises nobody lists — set it to whatever you're comfortable with.
