All you really need is the head, ECU, timing belt, VTEC oil pressure switch plug, and add a couple of wires. Anywhere from $150-$350 for everything depending on who and where you get stuff from..
It's nowhere near $1000 unless you buy new OEM parts from the dealership(like the head, etc.) Just ballpark figures: A complete VTEC head can be had for about $200 or even less, and about $100 for a ECU(P28). If you look in the right places, you can find complete SOHC VTEC motor swaps for like $300-$500.
Search your local salvage yards and ebay for a complete head and a ecu. Definetly consider a valve job at the least to insure you have something fresh to work with.
