Question Charleston, SC, any 2nd gen handymen?

I know a lot of you guys here in Charleston, SC, but I do not know anyone who might be able to help. As some of you know, I have a blown motor. I am trying to get RotaryResurrection to take my car, but his space is limited, and I cannot pull my engine by myself.

Anyone experienced and willing:
to pull motor, rebuild, and re-install?
OR
pull motor, i'll ship it off, and re-install when it comes back?

Obviously I'm not asking for anyone to do me such a favor; I am more than willing to pay and help as much as possible. Charleston, SC, or anyone area, like, within a few hours? I can transport the car.

Let me know if anyone can help. Best way to reach me is either e-mail or phone.

Jamin, I do still have your number. Are you back in action? I'll ring you.
speedracer2235, I know Reese, and I'd be fine with your guys' help.
KevinLanders at RotaryResurrection.com is willing to take my car, but won't take reservations more than a day or two in advance, and I'm pretty sure I can't jump that quick.

So I know everyone want to know when my car is getting back on the road. It looks like I have contracted speedracer2235's exertise in creating a solution to my problems. I'm anxious to have a result, and I know, if you're reading this, you must be too. I'll post updates, pics, etc. soon.
Souper.

Any suggested further mods for this N/A beast? A list of my mods is here:

I have an Ogura twin plate w/ unsprung discs and it is pretty harsh on a daily basis. Revs come very quick though. The pedal feels stock and clamps plenty. I am thinking about switching back to my Exedy street. Just figure out where you want the car to be HP wise and build from there. Do not waste your cash on too much clutch like I did. That Twin cost about a grand, but I had the cash and it sells for more than that so I said why not, but it was not realistic for what I wanted to do with the car. Kind of catch my Drift? BTW I just got here so you have a new FC TII in town. I live in Summerville now. Haltech probs though so I could not show up this past Saturday

I am looking for knowledgeable RX7 fans in the Charleston SC area to offer advice. My wife wants to restore her RX7 and I am not sure where to start. It is inoperable and in poor condition at this point. If you could e-mail me privately at dancoleman58@yahoo.com I would appreciate it. Thanks.
