I believe the dealer book is 19 hours to R&R an engine, at $100/hour that's just about $2K. Actually, I also replaced some other stuff like the oil cooler and hoses (about $600, I think) and the vacuum pump (something like $300 for a new OEM). I also had them transfer the AC (R-12 recharge) and replace all the engine gaskets that are a PITA to get to in the car. I don't remember what else they did, but they put in some time.
