Cost of 3SGE Rebuild

Hello all,
I am having my 3SGE rebuilt soon, and i was wondering what is a reasonable price to be paying for a rebuild? just the rebuild (not including the labor for pulling out engine and putting engine back in)
To assist, here is what i am doing.
Replacing pistons with ST205 pistons to lower compression.
replace rings, Metal Head Gaskets, other gaskets, bearings and some valve work.
(mainly tidying everything up.)
Water pump not required (that bastard went already  )
Timing belt while engine is out.
Anything else needed? (not including the turbo gear and EMS)
Worst case head will be cracked and need replacing. how much would this cost?
Not so worse case, head requires minor machining. fair price for this?
any advice or information would be greatly appreciated.
reason i ask is because i am turboing my car starting within 3 weeks and need to rebuild engine to suit. I have approval for the mod and I also have a budget that is currently quite rough. I would like to break it down to a more accurate number. ie Put the squeeze on it if i can (more go fast bits later that way  )
Cheers for help.
