Jerry, money is always a concern, but short-changing yourself on a 911 rebuild is only going to mean you'll spend more in the long run.

Take the time to read up here, there are a lot of great guys with good advice. If you have any mechanical skills, don't overlook the DIY option. I consider myself average in skills, but was able to pull off a rebuild last year, and many other went down the same path before me, so there is a ton of experience and experiences here.

A good investment is Wayne's book on rebuilds. It may not be the end-all for answers and the proper way to do things, but it is pretty darned good, and if nothing else, will make you a better consumer if you hire someone else to build the motor for you.
