I'd suggest you re-think your plans then... If you over bore you need new pistons, so you're probably looking at over $400 right there. Another $400 min for the machining. Then I'm guessing at least $400 for the head work. You'll also require complete gasket set, and you'll have labor to take it all apart and presumably you want it assembled correctly?
You're looking at $2k minimum, my guess. Call one of the shops mentioned and get a rought estimate, but i think your dreaming for $1k or less...
