I was quoted $8-10k for a top end ONLY at a well respected shop here in the DFW area. I'm having some stuff measured (pistons/cylinders, etc.) and it's $100/hour which is their "normal" labor rate. If you can do some things yourself you will save a ton of money. In addition to buying parts from Pelican. Otherwise, you're out a lot more money...I repeat, a LOT more money. A well discussed Excellence article put a SC rebuild in the $22K range IIRC. Several competent Porsche mechanics called BS on that estimate but it's still expensive.
