Default Cost of mild rebuild?

I was wondering what the cost of a "mild" 6.0L rebuild would be? I currently have a 2001 HD with the 6.0L and a blower (with the annoying CSK). If I rebuild, I wanted to at least bore it over (say 375 ci total?) and install new rods and bearings. What else would I need to do? Do you guys know of anyone in Texas (austin area) that would be trustworthy for such a task?

Thanks,

P.S. Admin, if I posted in the wrong place, my appologies.

Colvin Automotive in austin has re-sleeved an aluminum block and built at least one or two LS1's and a few more LT1's so maybe they'd be ok for the rebuild of an iron block. They can also pull the motor for you. If you do call em, talk to Steve (he's the guy that'd be building it) and tell em Mayfield recommended him.

He can give you a rough price estimate over the phone (colvins can be pricey).

If you want a shop with lots of LS1 experience you'll have to go to dallas or houston.
