Cost of engine replacement or rebuild

I have a 2000 Airstream Land Yacht with a 7.4 Vortec motor with 90k miles on it. It runs perfectly and I have no reason to think it's going to need to be replaced anytime soon but should that day come what should I expect it to cost, roughly?

    I was gonna say $8-10k having all the work done, probably $4-5k if you DIY. Change oil and filter every 3k and you will never have to worry about this.

    I have over 200,000 on my 7.4. Treat it right and you should get that kind of miles. No engine work, just routine maintenance.
    Long block is about $3000. add in external components another $1500. Installation will put cost up to nearly $10,000.
