   I can't imgine it being done for that with fitting costs.
   
   I'm not sure what people charge for an engine build tbh.
   
   The standard rods are good for 250ish bhp. It's just the bolts that let them down.

   could you not do some of the work yourself like the cams and fitting of the bodies to save some wedge? At least it will mean the hole schbang is affordable?

   I would budget about £1500 for internals if you want it done properly.
   You might see a bit of change from that.

   Not entirely true, a higher revving engine will put more stress on the compononents its not just about the big bhp.
   
   Re OP - pistons and mapping alone is circa 400 each, cams again around that, so depends if you can get the fitting done for a good £
