Your best bet is to do a complete rebuild. If you can do much of the wrenching you will be $ ahead. SCs are great cars, and in the long run you will get your money back.
A lot of guys will do the disassembly then send out their parts to be cleaned, inspected and re-worked as necessary. A good option, if you are good with a wrench.
HBTDT it is a TON of work, but so rewarding when you are done.
Which ever way you go take time to carefully DOCUMENT all the parts, labor, and work done. Too many times you hear stories about work done, with no documentation. No excuse for that IMO.
As mentioned, buy the two books mentioned and spend some time reading before you decide the direction you plan to go. There are also a number of build threads over in the 911 Engine Rebuilding Forum. Spending some time there could be worth while.
