Here are the rates for the engine rebuild. I think some are a little high, but these are seasoned engine rebuilders who have done work for discerning friends before. I trust the opinions of these friends. If you want quality you have to pay for it.

Disassemble, cleaning $260
Hot tank block, heads $ 80
Bore & hone cylinders $180
Deck block $125
Line-hone mains $250
Machine crankshaft $125
Reconditions con rods $280
Rebuild heads $400
Install hardened valve seats $160
Install cam bearings $ 80
Assemble engine $560
Paint engine (brush) $80
Full balance $250

If I add it up right I get $2830, all parts not included of course.
All comments are welcome.
This does not include transportation and tolls.
