How much does a STOCK rebuild cost on one of these? Also where can you get a built one from?

I just spent $950 for all of the upgraded (stage 2) parts plus $250 for the labor to rebuild it.

I put about a g in mine. But I needed synchros, gears, input (4th gear) etc. Plus all the upgraded stuff. Labor was free.

Where you located?

I'm asking because a local guy has shown interest in trading for my built auto. I don't know anything on the condition of his M6. I'm in AZ.
