Default Re-built (Forged) engine for a classic

The car in question is a MY97 Turbo 2000 (R plate).

Only had the car 3 weeks and whilst carrying out the routine oil/water checks for the first time I noticed that the coolant bottle was empty And yep, water in the oil as well. Further preasure checks pointed to the head gasket (which had been replaced in December ).

So I`m after a new engine which has already been re-built using uprated parts and something that can handle around 450bhp. Doesn`t have to be from a Turbo 2000, just as long as it will fit my car.

I`m looking to spend no more the £2,000 as I also need to buy a new clutch/flywheel, turbo, headers ect.

Oh, and I need it before the second week of March.

I was looking for exactly the same thing mate, however ive decided to re-build it all myself now and use forged internals as i also want to reach that sort of power band.

However i havent started yet though, planning to start in the next few weeks unless a miracle comes along.

lucko how right you are as per usual, but if you read his first post he said he wanted to spend about £2000 because he will still have to buy turbo, uprated clutch, headers, etc.
mine is ready to go.

beastro as for a price pm me your number if you wish although i see you might of already found one if so good luck mate
