i would say around $2.5k to take out the engine and, new bearings, rings, honed, gaskets, bolts, and all the other little things that pop up.

$2,300-3,000 is a good range....anymore than that and you might as well upgrade.

I have my engine out and am going to bring them the block w/o heads. For rebuild bore hone and forged pistons they quoted me 1900. I was told it was a good/reasonable price

If you are looking to save money and you feel comfortable and have a way to get the engine out, remove intake and exhaust, remove the front accessories, and take it to the shop you would save a significant amount on labor.
