Is it a 69 dated block? A competent machine shop should have no problen repairing the block. I think $3K would be a great price for you.

Plan on thousands not hundreds to fix. There are many things that need to be looked at other than the physical repairs. Ive even had a block that physically looked good after repair but the cam geometry was off center and the bores not straight and it would eat cams and lifters one after the other. Couldnt get anyone that wanted to touch fixing it at any price,and those few guys were fixing blocks blown in half for other customers.
