I think it's a little silly to worry about budget when you are trying to build a 500 rwhp+ motor.
I think Pineapple Racing in Oregon might do it for that, but that won't count shipping or R&R. Rick at Rick's Rotary in Pleasanton builds great motors, but he likes to do the R&R to make sure things are done right, so you would be looking at over $7k.

Yeah, Karack is a really good engine builder. He's about 40 miles north of Sacramento. He does have great pricing, but you are asking quite a bit for only $4K. It's very worth asking him though. Give it a shot.

nah, it's easily possible with ceramic housings and they are reasonably priced but the ceramic apex seals would be the chunk of the rebuid being that they would run close to $2k alone...
im just north of sacramento, send me a PM if you are interested.

As he said, Ricks Rotary. He is a great guy, does not cut corners at all. But, he is $$$$
remember, sometimes you do get what you pay for.

hmmm, i think i contradicted myself there... it would be possible but might be a little more depending on if you went all high grade or not.
i shouldn't be posting and working at the same time.
you can go cheap but the engine won't last.

I'm going to pay him to do my 1/2 bridge when I blow my motor.
