I am looking into buying a third gen and want to know an estimate on how much a complete engine rebuild costs for a small block chevy engine if i am doing all the work myself.

What are you going to do yourself? All the machine work also? How much HP do you want to push??
You could spend $5000.00 easy on a motor rebuild.
All depends on what you can do yourself, and how good of a kit you want to buy. Pace can give you some costs on some nice rebuild kits that are good quality.
I would buy some good quality products. Not some cheap kits off Ebay.sigpic -

Depends on the work that needs to be done. If you want to go cheap, just find a donor motor to swap in...old school SBC's can be had for cheap now a days.sigpicTurbo Charged LS1/T56
