On a rebuild, the sky is the limit. It entirely depends upon what you're after. My first rebuild on my fastback was a mild 1776cc motor. 30,000 miles later the heads were fried. Make sure you get quality components, and that your CR doesn't head too far above 7:1. Gas today is just too bad for anything higher. As for the cost of my 1776 rebuild, it was $1000, with a rebuilt case. Since then, I bought a a motor with all Berg parts, 78 mm stroker crank, 88mm pistons and the whole nine yards. It came to $4500, parts alone, no labor. If on a budget, stay as close too stock as possible, using heads no larger than 88mm on a type 3. Anything bigger, and your heat will be too high for the motor to last an appreciable amount of time. I frimly believe the 1776cc would have lasted with a lower CR and better heads.
