really depends upon spec, if you just want a standard rebuild and your engine doesn't need much machining work then it could cost 350 in parts and another few hundred for labour so Ł500,

However, if it has badly worn bores, worn crank journals, a knackered cam (and probably a worn oil pump) etcetc. You would be looking at Ł800 in parts alone for a standard(ish) build.

I would always recommend having a reputable place blueprint, balance and build your engine, and as a very minimum you should install ARP con rod bolts.

Good luck

Rob,
