Cylinder resleeving

[simonjrwinter]

Not a specifically ultima related question, but already posted in the technical section (and HUGELY impressed with the technical knowledge in the ultima forum) so I hope nobody minds me re-posting here.
I have a ford 302 engine (GT40 replica) with some pretty serious scores down one of the bores. I've weighed up the pro's and cons for a rebore and have decided to have the cylinder resleeved so I can use standard sized pistons (it's only a standard rebuild)
Can anybody suggest a firm who can do this? I've tried Gosnays engineering in Romford, Essex. But they are so expensive I thought I'd shop around first.
Anywhere in the south east?
Any advice greatly appreciated.
Thanks

bit off toppic but how come you have decided to resleve it rather than bore it out?? there should be plenty of material left in the cylinder walls bore a over bore.

thanks Chris.

Budget!
Standard engine rebuild, everything else in tip top condition, was just going to re-ring and re-shell the engine. Not going for nuts power so standard pistons/cam etc.

Someone: "Im thinking of changing the plugs - which ones do you all recommend"

Chris : "Have you thought of a Nelson Racing Twin Turbo while you're at it"

I'd guess it's a bit of a stretch, but how about?
