Most of the Imp experts (like Carter/Bevan) have gone to the great engine workshop in the sky, so are there any good specialists builders now who build/rebuild competition imp engines ?

Thinking of an imp variant with a screamer in it for sprints/track days but worried about getting an engine rebuilt in the future.

Still a few around. Try:

Reg Patten

Ben Boult

or

Chesman Engineering though I thing they concentrate more on Jaguars and may not have the Imp expertise they used to after Andy Chesman died in a hydroplane accident.

Ben Boult is the only one to go for, he bought all the parts from Chesmans after Andy died. He and Andy had done years of development on the Imp engines. He is also really easier to get on with.
