I think its more than that especially if u want a shop to do it for u.
Here was my ls vtec break down:
GSR head - 450
Dizzy- 100
Valve Cover - 80
New NGK spark plugs and wire (ls wont fit) - 100
block guard - 100
AEBS head stud - 120
HP headgasket - 110
catchcan and return line - 150
pistons and rods - 600
Blox intake manifold - 200
Hondata im gasket - 65
MSD coil/ cap - 100
Parts: $2175 (not including MISC stuff like gauges, fuel managment, etc.)
Labor: 500 and up
Advice: I recommand getting the head milled and looked at before installing it. I learned the heard way and when I had the shop put the vtec head on, it leaked
Therefore, I got charged double for the labor. Do it right the first time or it will cost u in the long run
