Just to install a new camshaft the labor is

Camshaft, Engine 15.8 HRS@ shop rate

and the OEM camshaft would be

Camshaft 12560967 $740.85

there will be gaskets and oil, filter and coolant as well so add a little more and you should be close. Also, they will want to replace the lifters as well

Valve Lifter 17122490 $57.50 x 16 = $920.00

Let us know if you need anything else.
