You are correct. Just a few years ago a local good quality rebuilder in Anaheim, CA charged $1000 to rebuild a 235. Now the same shop charges $1800. They tell me the cost of the rebuild kits has gone up but I don't know for sure. I do know inflation is raising many prices. The same shop rebuilt my 63 Chevy 327 V8 for $1700 in November.
