Depends on what it needs and just what you want. If you want an overhaul the rings, bearings, and gaskets around $250 plus $1000 labor. If you want it rebuilt like new with new rings, bearings, gaskets, cam, cam bearings, oil pump, lifters, valve job, boil the block. new freeze plugs, valve springs, bore it and new pistons if the cylinders are worn, deck the heads if needed, etc. you could have $3000 in parts and machine work plus labor. A rebuilt engine is done properly with any needed parts and/or machine work. Most people say they have a rebuilt engine with just an overhaul and didn’t even measure for wear on the cam, or measure the valve spring pressure and reused the oil pump etc. This is not a rebuild it is an overhaul.

A lot of answers and none too good. The cost will depend on what you have done and what parts you replace. If this engine is in a “classic” do NOT replace it with an engine from some parts store. It would not be a correct date code unit for your vehicle and would effect the value. You can spend a lot if you intend on doing performance upgrades or less if you want it stock. Check prices at a local machine shop and parts store to see what your specific build will run.
