Hi Karl, if it can be repaired it runs somewhere between $100.00 and $200.00, depending on the setup time more than the machining. Most end up in the $150.00 range.
After establishing a "clean" flat area for the housing/gasket you then machine the register depth for the t'stat!
Some intakes lend themselves better to clamping than others.

P.S. Here's another shot of a repair underway, it's about 1/2 way finished here. You can actually see how bad it really is, the "smooth" looking areas are machined!
