I think you live in your own little universe if you think that is the case.
Average low mileage used N55 goes for $5000-6500. List price on a new longblock is $21k.
There is a legitimate 25-30 hours of labor to R&R the long block engine with the customers accessories. Multiply that by shop hourly rate and it will get you close.
Also factor in another $500 of seals, gaskets, hoses, fluids and other consumables.
