$2000 Usd crank = $3000 Cdn
$1000 Cdn IMS and associated parts
extra cost to repair cylinder?
all the bearings, gaskets, chain ramp and pads, chains, etc.?
heads thoroughly cleaned?
shipping of the block to/from usa from canada?

$15k easy. and that's not valuing your labour. you can buy a running 3.6L X51 for that. consider selling the heads to try and recover what you paid for the core and go back to square one.
No, your costs are way off the chart.
OP, shop around
