buy a second hand block that will drop in and replace /rebuild i as you go rod's pistons etc etc spread the cost of it ? or you could just change your rod's and pistons in your current engine .

Alan Jeffery can do a 2.1 stroker bottom end conversion to yours for around £2K, just add your ancillaries and job done + more torque, earlier spool-up and bullet proof to 500 bhp.

ive seen rod's and pistons for about 1k i thing they just drop in just account for the labour and a new cam belt whilst your there .

sounds like u have been busy, not sure yet just fitted some rcm heat wrapped headers and they made quite a noticeable difference with the torque, going to get it on the rollers next month to see what its doing.

I'd worry more about the poor gearbox than engine at 350 hp.
