Engine Rebuild? In New York City area?

My 1991 Saab 900 Turbo convertible has 150K miles on it. The head gasket is shot. I'll be remachining the head when I replace the head-gasket. My question is, should I rebuild the bottom end of the engine while I'm at it? What kind of compression should I expect from an engine with 150K? Any good, experienced shops within an hour of New York City that can do this job for less then my retirement fund? I've done heads on my motorcycle, so I think I could do the head swap myself, but I only have street parking so I don't want to tear it apart and get stuck if I find something mysterious under the head. Anybody have a garage or driveway they want to loan me? Thanks!
