Denver/Boulder SC Top-End Rebuild Query/Help

I am a new 1982 Porsche 911SC owner that lives in the Denver/Boulder CO area. The car is fairly solid but needs the following work:

* Head Studs Replaced (one broken stud)
* New Oil Return Tubes
* General Top End Gaskets
* Transmission Rebuilt (though I will install new clutch, seals while it is off and getting rebuilt, outsource this work)

Here is the ask. While I could take it to a local shop, I would rather get some experience on removal and work on engine. I have done top end rebuilds before on water cooled VWs and BMWs, but this is my first on a Porsche. I have years of experience of workings on cars as a hobby, so not afraid to get dirty. What I am looking for is someone in the Denver/Boulder area experienced with this type of work to mentor and assist on the work. I have some urgency to get it done before the end of the summer. I have a very nice garage, 99% of most tools needed and an eagerness to learn. I am willing to reimburse the right person with food, beer, money, whatever it may be.

Regards,

Chuck

A local board member offered some help, wondering if anyone else wants to join the fun. I am trying to get the work done soon, if possible (probably have to wait a year if not). I have a new baby on the way, hence my urgency.
