Yes, that is a reasonable number if you supply no parts for a stock-type rebuild.
I will let you know what my hot rod motor's final bill is in a few weeks. I'm expecting in the neighborhood of $5K. I am supplying a fair number of the parts.
Ross pistons with metric rings were $700 shipped. 59 AB main bearings are around $250. ARP stud sets are around $500. It just keeps adding up from there. Only reason I mention it is to help give you an idea of where the money goes.
Not cheap, but you could spending it on a lot worse.
