is this a fair deal?

I am going have a 350 rebuilt soon and of course am working with a limited but reasonable budget. Its for a daily driven Blazer that will see some minor trails but nothing major. The guy building it is friends (and former employee) of a guy who owns a machine shop so he does the machine work himself therefore saving me and him money. He says he can get me rebuild with close to 350hp for around $1500 installed reusing my carb and intake, does that sound like a fair price? I posted a couple days ago asking what parts should be new and what could be re-used and it sounds like he is using most of the parts recomended here.

I know I can buy a base line crate motor from gm for about $1200 but I would like a little more power than that will provide. Thanks for input.
