It depends on how far you want to go, and it you want the parts to do it yourself or need to add the labour as well.
I am rebuilding a c16xe engine, I've spent the following:
Head gasket set
Bottom end set
Main bearing bolts
Main bearings
big end bearings
cam belt
auto tensioner
head bolts
piston rings
Clutch kit
All above £340.
Balanced bottom end and lightened flywheel £150
My mate is rebuilding it for me, we have deseemed the rods, cleaned all the valves up, reground them etc.

If you've got the time and the tools and you can get a manual for the engine it's really not that hard. A great, simple engine to start with is the 2.25 out of old land rovers. There are loads of these lying around the place seized (they're owned by farmers, same oil for whole life, no new filters etc etc) You can get them for taking them away really.

Were supposed to be rebuilding an old ford 1.1 ohv at college but my tutor has been ill so we only got as far as stripping it and cleaning everything. We got all day thursday and friday this week to finnish and test em!!
Dont really have a location to strip an engine tho, otherwise i would. Can just about get away with borrowing my dads garage for a weekend to do the conversion itself.
