A long block is about $5k. A complete crate motor is about $12,000.
Flat rate for a long block is 30 hours I believe. Diesel shops around here are $125/hr
While I think a complete motor could be overkill, I do know that a long block job is never just a long block job on the PowerStroke. It would be foolish to reuse the wiring harness, injectors, turbo and other major components.
