thats high...
for the motor only its high....who knows if the motor was even broken in properly....no way would I pay five k for a used motor.
I had my last motor ported and installed with all new parts for 5500. the shop that did my motor would do all the labor and the motor for close to that I am sure...
Id pay no more than 2500 for that motor...maybe less...if its ported and built by a quality shop then Id pay 2500..thats it.

rotor housings are like 450 each for a 3rd gen
3mm seals and the milling are ~950
A good motor with 3mm and new housings, porting, oil mods is like 3600-3800 with a good core. If the install is done right not bad.
