So how in the hell does the total cost of the labor mark this up to $2000? Should it really be that high just for the rebuild even though I'm giving him all the parts he needs?

Mechanics markup the price charged for parts. Your telling him you would supply the parts reduced his overall profit on your repair. He most likely has increased his labor charge to capture his original profit margin.
