The two answers you've received thus far are (IMHO) at the extreme high end
of what it will actually cost.

I sure hope so. Actually, I hope to find something that has 1000 or
more hours left on the engine so that I'm not looking at an overhaul
within the first couple of years. We'll see...the looking has only just
begun. Got some good prospective partner opportunities though...that's
a start. Heck, if I get an airplane before OSH this year, I may just
*have* to fly to Oshkosh via Iowa City :-)

If you can find a reputable local shop to do the rebuild, you can get the
same -- or better -- workmanship for thousands less.

Start asking around at your airport -- you'll get the real skinny about
local shops pretty quickly.

There's a good shop at my home airport and I'm going to do just that
when I get a chance. I'd agree, if I can find something locally with
great workmanship, why go elsewhere?
