Rebuild costs?

[pbureau@attbi.com (pbureau@attbi.com)]

yes like david has mentioned, it all depends on what 
you are calling a rebuilt.
For example I am rebuilding a Hybrid 2L myself.
and I am replacing all bearings, seals, rings, changing 
cam,getting block hot tanked, then rebuilding it myself.
I usually buy parts brand new when I rebuild (internals 
anyways) so I got new oil pan, new H/D Oil Pump, new 
water pump.. anyways after I got all my parts (and this 
is just parts cost) I am at 880$, this include new cam, 
new lightwheight flywheel as well.

The head I got lucky bough and engine for 100$ from a 
buddy of mine from a strong engine from a parted car, 
now he knows why the engine was so strong, the head was 
ported polished with 3 way valves already done to it 
with only 80K on it. So the head will only need shims 
once I slap the new G grind Cam in it. ( this is a 
savings of 500-750$ to be done locally here. (Texas)

I k now I am talking about an 2L 8v here, but there 
isnt much difference between the 3a and the 9a blocks 
in reality.
