Default Banger Engine Build

What will this engine cost me? I have a Model "B" engine in my Coupe that has stock dimensions, but it is getting tired. I want to rebuild the engine with:
> Rebuilt short block;
> Insert bearings;
> Modern rear & front main bearing seals;
> Pressurized oil supply system;
> Touring grind camshaft;
> Metal camshaft timing gear;
> Modern stainless valves with larger diameter intakes;
> 7:1 Cylinder head;
> Balanced reciprocating & rotating components;
> Stock flywheel lightened the max amount;
> Exhaust header;
> Weber carburetor.

My goals are to increase mid range torque, cruise at 60 - 65 MPH (3000 RPM), and burst to 75 - 80 MPH (3645 RPM) for passing running with 87 Octane gasoline and running a stock 3.78:1 differential.
