    ring them

    if you provide everything, should be done for £500

    it goes on house, so depends how good they are and how good your car is.

    Thats a good price, what sort of condition engine do you supply is their a choice, also does that include gearbox?

    Are you a one man band or a garage?

    It wont be just yet as ive a few things to pay off, student stuff. However i am interested. Even if it is a 4 hour drive!

    just got 1 engine at the minute, but its on ebay aswell so would need some sort of deposit to secure it.

    i do that work with my mate at his garage. fully equiped, £25k MOT ramp, 2 x 4 post lifts, 2 X 2 post lifts. tools and equipment to cover every job.

    Williams what do you do with the fuel return, does that price include plumbing one back?

    Think it's just short of £1k drive in 8v, drive out 16v with the likes of RickyP, or Frenchsport Tuning. They both supply the engine etc at that too.
