the major contributor to price is labor. (yours or someone elses). The more you can do yourself the less expensive. If you are in mind set of wanting to drop off your car and then pick it up x months later all done and sorted that will be the top end of your pricing. If you can pull the motor and deliver to be rebuilt and then re-install that's next level. If you are willing to drop the motor, disassemble and send off to specialist for needed machine work price is lower still.
If you are mechanically inclined and can disassemble your motor, farm out the work you can't do and then tackle the reassembly that will be the least expensive. Over the years for me I have moved down the list to the point that I machined the surface on my last set of heads in my garage after buying a lathe. Over time I have saved a lot of money and enjoy a lot of satisfaction for doing it myself. Not for everyone.
