Whose had a rebuild?

Ive been thinking about doing the LE1 or LE2 H/C package on my 108,000 mile lt1. Should I rebuild for this and how much do you think the rebuild would cost?

I had 130K on the clock and i decided to build because i wanted to spin to 6500 everytime and not worry. I have a 355 now. Stock crank, Eagle rods, SRP forged -4.8cc, LE2 heads, and a gm847. I spent about 800 on the bottom end. 300 in machine work and about 1600 on the heads. There are other things that always it the pocket. I spent about 5K on my project.

Short block was assembled by the shop that did the machine work. I finished the motor from there. The rest is the easy stuff
