What parts "typically" replaced in engine rebuild ?

Not a Packard question - but you all are experienced and I ask for your opinions. Have another car - 63 Ford Thundebird - removed engine and sending for rebuild (390 FE engine).

What parts are "typically" replaced ? I have a couple quotes.

Here's a link for one quote for $2,500 - replacing pistons, rings, main/camshaft/rod bearings, oil pump, freeze plugs.http://tinyurl.com/ndkugb

But I thought the camshaft, lifters, and timing chain set should be replaced too ?

Anybody else have other recent pricings for rebuilds ? Obviously pricing varies by part of country and what's done.

$2,500 seems high for rebuild not replacing camshaft... Thanks.
