Is it just me or does this rebuild qoute seem steep ?
+1 - I don't think this is an out of sight price. I think I just about hit that 5 years ago by the time i had my rebuild done, removal, reinstall, re-hardening of the irons after resurfacing. There were some other issues to resolve, which needed to be solved with a PowerFC and tuning which i include in that amount too.
I'd say that yes you can just find another car/roller, but if you are planning on keeping the car long-term, being sure the engine is a 'known quantity' in terms of life expectancy and reliability is worth the money.

JDK rebuilt my engine last year with porting, flywheel machining and a oil pan brace for less than what mazdees quoted you, I went single turbo and beat the sh*t out if my car last year at SRTA with 0 issues and I plan on doing it again this year, I would PM Jim if I were you.
Came with all the gaskets too, my rotors and housings were in good shape so I didn't need to replace them.
I'm sure Mazdees does great work, but I only trust JDK with my engines now. Here's my engine when I picked it up from JDK, I think I bought a steel engine mount from him too.

Also to" orginal poster" compare apples to apples price the cost of a rebuild of short block, then engine removal and install seperately, a lot can go wrong when installing and reinstalling also for rebuilding you do not know how the internals are alot of unknowns for a specific quote.
Eliminate some of the variables, get a clear and concise quote.
When i think about it for engnie removal, long block breakdown, shortblock rebuild, long block reassembly and long block reinstall, start up and making sure everything is just right $4500 sounds like a good price.
