go to the local machine shop get a quote can probably be done for about a grand for a very basic rebuild

Rings and bearing are the best way to go for a fresh motor. Get the cylinders honed and a gasket kit. If your doing it yourself, I would say parts and labor for machine work about 600-800 depending on what needs done.
