Default rebuilding a motor

I'm probably getting a cobra motor coming up from GA here soon and the guy says he's pretty sure it has around 35k miles on it. If this wasn't true and say the motor had high miles, what would cost to rebuild it? What would I need to purchase to make the rebuild complete(if it just needs rebuilt, no messed up heads or anything), or would it be most likely just boring out the cylinders?
thanks

BTW it's costing me $1600+ shipping so I'm hoping I'm getting a good deal here, instead of having some beat up cobra motor sent to my door.

Depends on how Bad A$$ ya want to make it. Parts are reasonable...it's the machine work that'll cost ya.

If it's in good condition for the time being I'd like to keep it stock because I'll be about broke, but if it needs rebuilt majorly, like heads work and such I'll probably just save up for HiPo parts
