Default Engine Rebuild

Right I have an escort cosworth small turbo with 75,000 miles on it, never had any problems with the engine and its still running like it was brand new. Im just wondering roughly how much it costs for a full engine rebuild. Now i know figures depend on what needs done and you want know what needs done until the engine is stripped, ie crank reground etc, but does anyone have a ballpark figure of what sort of price you should be looking. Tuner over here who is very well respected, Steven Gault, im going to get him to do the work as ive heard he is very good!

Cheers Damo! You seem you know your stuff! Think im just going to get it build around standard parts as there is no point in putting stronger parts in as im not planning to convert it to big turbo, as i said the engine has never given me any bother but its just something im saving for.

Im not looking for silly strength within the engine, just something that will cope with 300bhp without any major problems!
