I'd say if you have the time and money, do it yourself. The knowledge you would gain would be irriplaceable.

Otherwise I can recommend Snail Conversions (011 794 9961) Riaan does great work. I'm sure the other guys can give a few more contacts.

I redid mine for R6500 but I didn't replace oil pump and pistons, adding the pistons and the oil pump will definately double the figure.
