local engine builders
 

Looking for a local engine builder, cardiff, swansea, newport etc to assemble the block, fit bearings, crank, rods and pistons only.

Advanced Automotives in Bristol?! Or you could ship it to EngineTuner :)

Both great and they do all machining in house too!

Any of the big boys will collect and return an engine

Worth checking with all of them,

i was looking for more of a small engineering firm

I can sort that for you without the 'big-boys' price tag :thumb:

i built my own engine 3 years ago, ran well. dont see how they can charge so much for fitting and bolting it all up. i kno more goes into it but still.

need block checked, rear thrust conversion and bolted up, the rest il do.

being 2.1 rather engineers do it, make sure its all precise.

Aha, not just a simple bolt-together job then.....

I can do it for you, but would need to send block away for machining/honing work to be done.... so it may be worth getting a quote from AA or ET (if they'll quote for it?) as a comparison.

If you PM your number i'll give you a call tomorrow to discuss :cool:


Cheers, Steve

Llyons In brynmawr or mike at south wales pistons down in cardiff are 2 i have used previously with my vauxhall stuff

Mike at south Wales pistons in Cardiff,that's where I had all the work done for my forged build.

hows the engine holding up and how much did it cost?

They did the machining work for me,me and my work mate built the engine and is holding up fine,they did all the block work and skimmed/tested all the heads,very reasonable prices.

He was a CVC Subaru spanner chucker, so probably pretty good:notworthy.
