Performance Automotive in Pennsylvania has a great reputation with the East Coast crowd:

In my opinion even if it cost $10k for a rebuild you are getting a now 'new' 964 for 1/8th the cost of a new Porsche. I'd go bone stock on the rebuild for reliability sake and spend cash on exhaust and intake mods that you can bolt on/off as need be....maybe get a chip if you're feeling brave.

chris im surprised you didn't suggest black forest. easy decision: send the engine or car to mark kinninger at black forest in san diego (770 miles). i would send it to mark before i would send it to dallas.

The ultimate preventative maintenance more than anything.

I just recently looked into this very thing. Put out a feeler for a reputable shop in the Bay Area and on Steve Weiner's suggestion I contacted RMG which is in your area. Well it was a brief but informative conversation. I was asked what year and model I had and the response was, Don't do it, the car is not worth it and that a complete overhaul would be $25,000 and if anyone tells me less that they are not being totally honest. My car being an early build 964 would need a bit more as rebuild updates are concerned evidently and there are associated things that should/must be done at that time that add to the cost as well. I appreciated the honest opinion because essentially he was turning away work so I tend to believe what I heard. I take it all with a grain of salt but when mine does quit it will be time to move on to another "P Car".

I have an early 90 and almost at 100K on the ODO, when the time comes for the full rebuild I will park it, buy something to get me from here to there and do the rebuild myself
