I've been quoted prices of around $1,200 to be done correctly with all rails and the oiler tubes over the cam.

If you like messign with cars, you can save BIG TIME doing this one yourself. I ended up doing the entire job for just a couple of hundred bucks. I would recommend springing the $50-$60 or so on eBay for one of the pin extractors, though.

What would you need:
Chain
Chain rails
Chain rail pins
Chain tensioner
Valve cover gaskes (good idea)
Valver cover crush washers

PM me if you have any questions...
