My 2c, but why dont you get a good manual, and do it yourself. There is plenty of sound advice on here, and some people are good with valves, some with carbies, gear boxes etc etc. You may decide that you want to port/polish your heads and take them to someone that specialises in that. Bit by bit, piece by piece, you will really get to know the bike. You have come this far. Dont hand the reins to someone else. By all means, get some help, but not the whole thing. There is something about making yourself comfortable with a beer and working on some obscure part of the engine and knowing that that little bit - the bit that no one will ever see - is perfect in every way.

My 2c. Keep going. Clear some space. Clean off a bench, put the engine on it, label your bits and pieces (the little ones) in icecream containers, get a parts wash tub, some degreaser, some brushes, scourers, a manual, beer, and chow down into the heart of the beast.
