Well crap. Should have started this thread Monday morning

That is in the ballpark (avg out price)
2 batteries $250 avg
Carb kits 2.if 3 cylinder then more - $60 to $80 ($30 to $40 each kit)
Water pump kit $60 to $100 on avg

Just avg out parts cost $410


The rest is labor, shop fee ( shop supplies , misc fee, taxes
Let's say shop rate $80 x4= $320
$800 not way off for what he did
