I have no idea how much this might cost, as I have done all my own 
work for the last few decades. My main advice would be to make SURE 
that you get ALL your old parts back, especially the carb parts and 
the old fuel pump. If those are OE parts, they may be irreplacable.

Aftermarket parts may be available, but they are often greatly 
inferior to what you already had. It's a tragedy when you discover 
that your good parts disappeared into the trash a few weeks or months 
ago. This may be true of any needles and jets for the carbs and the 
fuel pump body may be an early Type 3 part only, that can be rebuilt 
by the right person but never correctly replaced.
