Engine builder wanted

Im looking for someone with extensive knowledge on rotaries to do a complete tear down and rebuild on an s4t engine. I am trying to get away from the honda/acura scene because I am utterly bored building them anymore. I have 3g's to spend on parts and labor including shipping to and from. If you are interested please respond asap. Thanks
Josh

What country are you in?

I can recommend you good shops. Even better, buy the Atkins rotary rebuild video, it shows you exactly how to do it. Do it yourself! You cant really mess it up.

Otherwise, you can contact gotham racing, Banzai racing, Atkins rotary, rotary ressurection or RX7 specialties (the best imo).

If you want to port it, you can even by guides to port it yourself.

Remember, a rotary engine has only 3 moving parts. Not a hard thing to assemble.

Judging by "Da Burgh", I'm going to put my money on Pittsburgh. It's the only "burgh" spelled with a "h".

Best bang for the buck is Rotary Resurrection. However, I just tried his website, and it appears he no longer has www.rotaryresurrection.com. If you want an email address, PM me.

We can get you rebuilt and streetported with shipping back and forth for well under $3000.
