Hi, mine cost about £1400.00 all in, that's parts and labour, including new cam belt, and idler and tensioner, fluids etc. etc.

You can get a new engine for about £900.00 ( including warrenty) then you just gotta fit it.

I ended up getting another de-registered Surf myself and getting the engine swapped. Now I have the advantage of a parts Surf too - good if you have the space! I think the Surf was about 9 hundy (~360GBP), but not really relevant with the different import taxes in NZ and year of Surf ('87/'88) - just another idea for you.
