Rebuild a motor before putting it in?

Are you talking about a rebuild including new crank journal and rod bearings, overboring or honing, new rings and pistons, new headgasket, etc.?

There is no way in hell a shop will do that before an install unless you agree and pay for it beforehand. It takes quite a few parts and time to tear down a motor.

That $1000 is ONLY for swaping out the KA with the SR, wiring and plumbing it. The process really isn't all that difficult, it just takes time.
