$800.00 looks like a short block price. Long blocks are usually in the thousands.
You have "long blocks" whole engine rebuild
and "short blocks" usually work to just the block itself (you take engine apart -- do most of the work)
In both cases you still have to pull the engine and reinstall it.
Not beginner mechanic work.
