Thanks guys.
Now now frayz, wouldn't want to be embarissing you would I?
Peedee - Paul @ extreme has worked on my car since I got it so ill speak to him first.
Ed - you can come and rebuild it if ya want? Seems like a fair return favour to me.
Matt - I've actually got a 2.0 block in the garage, could have a 2.1 built up. Not too sure if ill miss the torque from the 2.5 though

Seriously, I'd stay 2.5 and get the block worked properly.
Certainly the least amount of messing about for you. You have 2.5l heads with 99.5mm combustion chambers. They suit the 2.5 best or will work on a 2.35. But staying 2.5 is the most cost effective. Personally I'd add some proper rods, pistons, bearings etc. new oil pump, timing belt, head studs and add an SC46. You will have a very responsive and torquey 500bhp motor.

I made white wee wee reading that. Would need to pin the block if I go for that power?
Tbh I was going to leave the rods as I'm not looking at much above 400. Trouble is when I do things I do them with no expense spared and waving 500 stallions in front of my face is not good for my ego!!!
And the rest. Even frayz can't keep with ya on his 8th map!!

Sounds like a good start Dan, for a road car 400/400 in a newage is plenty.
You'll struggle to use more. But I promise no matter how much you have, you'll want more.
I still want more, so if you're doing a build, then may aswell do the right groundwork from the outset.
Then it's just a case of bigger blower and more fuel
