I can't imagine machining work costing $2000 unless some extravagant/elaborate work was done. Engine machine work is going to vary a bit by location but I would guess for a I6 it shouldn't be more than $6-700.

So what's my next move? Can I slap in some new bearings, button it up, and call it a day? I don't have a ton of money to put into things right now. A master kit for this engine isn't too expensive but I'm worried machining will cost be upwards of $2000, at least according to a friend who had his mustang engine machined (and not even bored).
