Is that just the engine conversion, or does that include the tanks? You might be able to find a CNG/bi-fuel GM van to swap from for less.

My dad has looked into converting one of their vehicles to CNG over the last few years. Unfortunately, the EPA certified conversion kits are very expensive. There are many cheaper kits that are certified by international agencies, but they're technically illegal to use in a road vehicle in the US (offroad or racing are fine).
