Rebuild options in DFW?
 
Tracked the car @ ECR Sat, cracked the t-stat neck, lost coolant, overheated 250+ before I could limp it in. 110F out, car was running great at about 210-215 till it pegged. Car starts and runs but bubbling exhaust into coolant, and coolant out the exhaust :( Oh well, at least it ate several new Boss 302's before it went! :)

Suggestions for rebuilds in the DFW area? this is nothing fancy, basic S5 n/a. I've never been inside the motor and am nervous about doing it myself - I want it to last. plus, time is hard to come by, what with job, wife, 5 kids ;)

I know of Rotary Perf. in Garland, they do turn-key starting at about $4500. Any other suggestions? Kevin Landers @ Rotary Ressurection built this motor originally, I don't know if he's still in business or not.

Suggestions appreciated. I will attach a few pics of the track day for your viewing pleasure :)
