Less time than Money...

Guys,

My FD is starting to show signs that it is going to dump it's engine within the next 5-10K miles.

I would like to have it rebuilt to the tune of about 320-350 rear wheel HP.

But at this time, I have little time to do it.

I have also read many horror stories of people who know a bit about RX7's but are inexperienced at business starting businesses and ending up royally screwing over customer (and to be honest the reputations of some of the older established don't seem to be stellar either.)

At this time, is the a consensus as to who the honest builders are who are capable of doing a project from beginning to end, honestly (getting what you paid for), completely (not being a hack job in any way), and in a reasonable amount of time (pulling out the old - putting in the new shouldn't take too much more than a couple weeks and no more than a month for a professional shop)?

Thanks for the replies... But I was thinking more company than individual.
