So, although I typically ignore these threads, I will make some input as I am pricing out the same as well

If the engine is going to be opened up, there is a fairly large list of things to do apart from just rods and pistons

Rods/Pistons/Bearings/Rod bolts/rings/pins: Set from Mazworx is about $1100 shipped to your door
Head bolts: Mazworx has them for $184 + shipping
DE Oil Pump: $180 + shipping
Water Pump: $40-$60 BNIB
Gasket Kit (with Head Gasket): $200 + shipping from GSpec
Timing Chain kit (tensioner, gaskets, guides and chain): $300 + shipping from Mazworx
Machine work (Deck): $90-150
Machine work (bore/hone): $100-200
Machine work (Hot Tank): $60-$120
Total: About $2200 - $2500. Now, you can most definitely shop around and get things cheaper, but that is strictly a bottom end price. No head work involved. You can swtich to a VE head for about another 900-1100 (probably less if you just buy a full P11 VE long block, part out what you do not need and buy CAS and relocation kit).

So all in all, you are looking at $3500-$4000 for a very simple build.

DOESNT INCLUDE LABOR!

However, if you have to ask this question, you are already screwed...........
