some idea of how much you have to spend will get you some better advice. from a few hundred quid for a high mileage scrapper replacement engine to £40k for a forged rebuild monster.

You should be able to get a half decent replacement for that money though i doubt it will be a forged build. you just might scrape the parts for a forged build at £3k. Are you going to do the work yourself or will you require the services of a master technician. Don't forget to factor in the labour cost as well.

Other more knowledgeables will be on during the day and and give you a better estimate of cost. Hope you get her sorted.

You dont need to spend £40k


If you cant get the parts for a forged rebuild under £3k your shopping in the wrong place.

A forged engine built should come in under that. API has been mentioned, look at options from lateral performance
