Yeah, if you can do the work yourself and get the parts at a massive discount it's not too expensive.
Bearings from a general autoparts store will cost about $60-80 for mains and slightly less for bigends.
You'd probably want to rebush the small ends of your conrods too. I've played with two rods lately where they have just fallen out in my hands.
MrDOHC, the small end bushing of one of those rods you sold me did that, then the bushing fell into two pieces.
I was stoked, it saved me the trouble of having to press it out!
I made up a list of how much it cost my brother about 18 months-2 years ago. We did oversize pistons, bearings, timing guides and chains(not the tensioner slipper), all gaskets, valve seals, valve grind, welsch plugs. Basically all the normal stuff for a full rebuild. Didn't do any cogs though.
It cost about $2500 including the initial purchase of the engine and all the accessories and missing parts.
The rebuild cost about ten times the initial purchase price of the engine, that's a little scary really.
We did all the work ourselves except for the boring and the fitting of the auxiliary shaft bushings.
Mine is costing a whole lot more, but then the price also depends what parts you rebuild it with
