there was a firm in weston super mare who were supposedly building RV8s from new components? might be worth a google ? also wildcat do there own blocks which arent RV8 but are a bolt-in fitment in their place apparently?

Engine builders like Wildcat and V8 developments - have no problem getting hold of new blocks..

When I was last up at Wildcat - he had plenty of new blocks around - mid build.

He also does the alternative block - that was a specialised casting for the Turbo MG record breaking car - with extra bolt holes .. it's really just for racing as it's very expensive and the meat between bore is very small... can't even remember if it has liners..
- it's that block that allows a RV8 to be a 6 litre.
