Good advice as well. I really like the 3.0. I'm going to keep it. The decision now is just either (A) farm it out (I spoke with Tom Amon this morning and got a great feeling and thought the quote was fair and turnaround fast), or (B) do it myself.
Wayne's book is on the way so I can read and either scare myself out or psyche myself in.
However, the pros of hiring it out are starting to sound pretty good:
-having the car back next month (less of my time, more driving time, time to handle other projects in parallel while car is out of commission)
-complete confidence in the rebuild, not having to go back into it
-A reputable name attached to it
-no cleaning
Cons:
-More $$
-No rebuild experience, pride of own work
