polish crank
Piston Rings - $150
Main bearings - $50
Rod Bearings - $50
Cam Bearings - $30
Lifters - $200
Timing chain - $30
Oil Pump - $130
Valvesprings and seals - $200
Misc gaskets and seals - $200
Optional:
Forged pistons - $600
Forged Rods - $600
Forged Crank - $900

I have been looking into this as well. With all of the good deals on shortblocks it is almost cheaper to go out and buy a brand new one. You could then sell your stock motor or rebuild it as a spare.
