Don’t sugar coat it!!
I think instead of saying “as much as”....... it should be “at least” 5K.
Ehhhh, as I said, it’s not the block price but work after purchase lulled with someone who knows WTF there doing. The cost above the purchase price is a minor concern because I want I read about them. The issues seem to be wide and varied as well as extensive in some cases.
Since machining prices vary widely by region and shop, have an idea from a known reputable shop could help somewhat.
That is not so much a question on block cost because of the reasoning above but closer to a possible heads up that could be used in conversation with a local machinist.
The biggest item is the “Work needed” on the block (as I said, reported as wide and varied) and ask my local machinist his costs.
Again, purchase price is one thing, readiness is another, cost? I wouldn’t want to spend another 2500 or 5K in work just to make the block usable score entertaining any thoughts on the rotating assembly & heads.
