I would double that, depending on the head gaskets then go even higher, I run commetics, they also required special machining of the block and heads and the gaskets were nearly $100 each.

Yah, hoses, belts, motor and trans mount can run the dollars up quickly.

I don't expect $3,000-3,500 to build the entire motor, I figure it will cover my rods/pistons/rings/bearings, intake porting, and cam/lifters/timing chain and close to covering most of my heads.
I'd still need/want injectors, throttle body, gaskets, electric water pump, tune, aftermarket ignition?, and whatever else I'm forgetting.
I figure realistically it will take about a year to build and I figure I'd have around 6 grand into it. Probably will change the clutch at this point as well so add $500 more. Plan on running rear til it goes.

Don't forget:
1) Machine work on the block.
2) Balancing rotating assembly
3) Fuel system / fuel pump
4) ARP bolts
Thik about the clutch, rarely can a LT1 fFlywheel be reused/resurfaced, and if you're making allo of power yu are going toneed a really good clutc. I run the street twin clutch = $1200
