just getting an idea of what is a REASONABLE PRICE for a shop to build and install my engine(put it togather all machine work is already done )and pull out old one.pistons and rods are already pressed on, everything  is balanced .heads are assembled also.

Most machine shops that build motors don't also install them. You usually drop off your parts, they build the motor and then you pick it up.

Installing it, really isn't that hard. You can rent an engine hoist, get some friends and have it done in a couple of hours.
