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. Good luck
