What kind and (what for) of rebuild are you after?
If it's a 2F, send a PM to Orangefj45 (Georg of Valley Hybrids) in Stockton. LC guru. There's also MUDRAK on this board; He's somewhere North of the Birkenstock Curtain.

I want to bring my 2F block and head for rebuild and I called Mudrack he asking $3500 he give me orther option to put a use engine for $3000 do you think that ok.

On the way there
Mudrak will do a good job for you. The $3000 new engine likely includes the motor and the install. That isn't too bad. If you are capable of the work, then installing a used 2F would be a very good way to go. They often go for $500 or so and drop right in, but count on a full weekend of work.
The $3500 quote is likely just the machine work and engine build. The remove and install would be extra.
Mudrak rebuilt mine and I pulled it and took it up to him and picked it up and dropped it in myself. I am very happy with the rebuilt engine. It runs great. It all depends on what kind of money you want to put into it and your plans for it. I would still recommend what I said in your last thread.

Rebuilt motor, done right, will last another 25 years - or until gas runs out.
Mine was done by MAFs rebuilder for a shade over $3500, for a stock rebuild, with a few upgraded parts, but nothing HiPo -- You want to get it balanced, and align bored, if possible, too.
Add: You gotta break it in right, too, and run the right oil ....
