Having done a cam in a 5th, it's not hard, but it takes a good bit of time. I would guess the 'shop time' would be about 8 hours for the cam, and for the converter you're looking at about 4 to 6 more.

12hrs+ @ $80-$100 for labor
$2500-3500 for parts.

Thats just a ball park, with a lot of assumptions. So your $5500 seems a bit high.
