Here's a breakdown on mine when I rebuilt it:
120 for main bearings
80 for rod bearings
60 bucks for the bottom end gasket kit
10 bucks for the rear main seal which didn't come with my kit
100 for the rings
100 for a new head gasket
15 for an intake manifold gasket
30 for an exhaust manifold gasket
80 for a new timing belt
30 for new PS and Alternator belts
30 for plugs
50 to replace worn out hoses and fittings
3 for a new pcv valve
3 for plastigage
5 for an oil filter
5 for a fuel filter
10 for coolant
30 for oil
30 for transmission fluid
50 bucks for a couple of hardware kits (nuts and bolts/cotter pins/crush washers/o-rings)
300 for the actual bore/balance which was cheap and the work reflected it. The engine came out last weekend after 3000 miles because of loose pistons and a warped crankshaft.

Unless you've got a full shop of tools, I'd factor in 200 bucks to buy special tools and assorted hardware you'll find that you need.
You should also seriously consider a new oil pump (100), water pump (50) and distributor cap (15). These are all prices for my vehicle so obviously your prices might be significantly more or less.
