I've been convinced it's time to swap out the motor, and have heard various opinions on 3.3 versus 3.5 alternatives. I'd love to hear experienced voices. Also, a couple of topics I'd also appreciate commented on:
1) price expectations for the job (all inclusive)
2) is an M3 conversion just too complicated? (the concept is salivating :)
3) any gotchas or things to be aware of going in?
4) anyone have recommended sources for the work in Colorado?

All input greatly appreciated.

Perry

tranny - I have a 265 5 speed in my 71 2800 cs. I'm not sure what year it is - aparently they were only limited run. The speedo cable links up directly ( no modifications necessary).
