For the sake of convenience and trouble $400 or so really is par for the course. It costs me $120.00 + shipping to bore cylinders Pistons & Rings can run $100.00. Then adding valves and gaskets you can eat up $50.00 on up. Searching high and low for parts(and paying shipping) and hoping you have sourced the right parts then getting into a sloppy old motor (labor & solvents & dirt)
So $400 and change and the engine is ready to go is not really that bad of a price.
