I know, I'm just sayin'. Let me do some math here...

I already had a block that needed boring/honing with a plate, new cam bearings, all the other basic rebuild stuff along with balancing and assembly it cost me $980. So thats $2050 right there keeping in mind that the person I had assemble it is not that "big" so he doesn't charge as much as the "reputable" shops do around here... So if he can get a fully forged rotating assembly + a block + all the machining/assembly for only $50 more something is definitely weird.

The only way I can see a shop selling something like that for $2100 is if a customer brought them a bunch of parts, had them machine/assemble everything, and then never paid.
