Delivered my engine to Rebello Racing this morning. Attached is a pic of the engine just before we loaded it up into my buddy's truck. Met Dave Rebello and he gave us a tour of the shop.

Engine should be done in about 6 weeks. It will be bored-out to 2.8 L with a 280 crank and mild cam on an "almost" stock E88 head. According to Dave, it's sort of a mild ITS build and should put out about 200 HP with plenty of added torque. She won't be a powerhouse, but should maintain a smooth idle and have good drivability.

Turn's out Rebello's is located about 1/8th mile from the house I grew-up in! We passed by the old house on the way. It's still painted the same color and it looks like the current owner's are taking good care of it. Like going back in time...

So, how much does Dave charge for a mild setup like that? Why didn't you start with a L28 engine rather than turning your L24 into an L28?

You should be very happy with the results!

What color is the house?

Using my L24 keeps the matching numbers. Not a big deal, but why not... Assuming he finds nothing wrong inside, quote was $3500. To dyno it costs another $550. I'm not sure it's worth doing at this time.

FWIW, there is a Rebello freshly rebuilt L28 on the SF bay Area Craig's List for $4,000. According to the seller, much less than the engine cost...

Light Blue.

$3,500? That's not bad for a shop with a reputation like Rebello - DAMN being in NJ sucks for this, I'd have to add a few hundred bucks for shipping...
