I have a perfectly good long block for sale $1800. It has 30K miles on it. I did an APS TT kit and built a new engine to handle the boost. Let me know if you're interested.

I agree run all applicable tests before taking a shops word for it, I have experience personally with this.
Also, the labor book calls for 20 hours to replace a motor, so 1400-2000 should be what it costs.
