Please check I've been quoted fairly

[M G D]

I bought a 93' 2.5 engine from Craigslist last week that I'm going to have rebuilt to replace a very tired 2.5 in my '93 YJ, I got my first quote today from the local auto machine shop for "about" $1300. The machinist said other than increasing the deplacement a bit he'd upgrade the cam and work the head a little... does this sound like a fair quote or should I keep shopping? The shop is a NAPA affiliate and the work comes with 7 year or 70k warrenty, of course prices are diffrent in other parts of the country but I don't suppose there's that big of a diffrence. Its possible I could do it my self but I know I'd still have to have the machining done and of course no warrenty. Any opinions on the quote? Thanks.

On average my machine work only bills come out to about 2500 so that's fair in my eyes.

Doesn't sound too unreasonable to me.

Jester32, you talking USD or Canadian?

Like mentioned, I think that is definately fair price, but not a screaming deal.
