You might have trouble boring out to 2.7
Have you read the sticky?

Why don't you tell us where you live, maybe someone can help you with some where to get the work done then.

You don't bore for 2.7, you need a longer throw crank.
About a year ago I was pricing-up a full rebuild - done properly with the bores honed, new piston rings, all the gaskets, check the big ends and mains, new shells, head skimmed, etc, etc. I gave-up when it came to over £1k. As an example, piston rings were £25+VAT per pot IIRC, so there's over £170 for starters.
