Oh, Man...Use my engine guy.
His prices are VERY reasonable, and he warranties his work. Hes built my truck motor, re-done heads for my stepdad, built 4 of my friends race engines, and was the only shop in colorado to figure out how to make my friends mopar run like it should. You should deffinently call him, and tell him John from Silverplume sent you his way...His work is top notch.
His turn around is usually pretty good too.

Ohh, and $3000 would get you into my truck, but it will need atleast a transmission flush, and new torque converter soon....More work than money...But still....
