engine rebuild/removal/installation

ok heres the deal. broke a valve spring, the valve head broke and scarred up the top of my head adn my number 7 piston, then it made its way through to the number 5 and did the same thing.

so i need two new pistons an oil pump (cuz of the alum shavings fromthe head where the spring broke) a bearing set, the heads to be milled to get rid of the scarring.

anyone with an idea of how much this all will cost? to have the engine removed adn put back in?

also will i need to have the whole motor re-balanced or just those two pistons?

any other info/suggestions would be greatly appreciated. thanks

I'd say you'll be looking at $2500 to $3000 since you want someone else to pull the motor. You'd save alot by pulling the motor yourself.

my shop is pullin the motor out the top so will he need to put the intake back on the engine when the engine gets put back in the car or is it not that hard to put back with the intake on?

anyone else have an estimate on what this might cost me?

thanks
