Most likely it will be less expensive to go with a crate engine...plus it will come with a warranty. Machine shop costs can easily hit $1,000-$1,500 for a stock rebuild. Add in your $1,600 in parts and you're already in GM crate engine prices.
I would stick with reputable name crate engine manufacturers though....do some research before buying.
