Discussion
after 8 weeks of being serviced, clutch, master cylinder, diff bush, discs and various other parts replaced including the valve guides and the cylinder head inspected, my car was run upto full running temprature and it was discovered that the engine will need to come out again to have the liners replaced 
so what do i do, 4 litre? been told its not worth it, get some rr upgrades done to the 3.6, or fit a 5 litre ajp?
what have others done to T350's in this sort of situation?
im wanting to kill someone right now but ill take my frustration out on the right pedal when i get the car back!
the engine will be going to tvr power so im sure they will have some advice but im curious to what others have done, im also tempted to try something different if it can be done, ie v8 in it.

Ouch! That sounds more than a little unfair and I really hope its the last problem for you.Look at it this way-it's an opportunity for a serious upgrade. If its TVR Power you are going to use with their waranty offer I'd go for the 4L option if I were you.I love my 3.6 but there is no getting away from the fact I still miss the torque of the Tuscan S I had before that and it's on my list once I have put 30k on the T350-assuming I don't trade it for a mk2 S Tuscan that is...
hey folks, thanks for the suggestions
yes i was hollowlegsGTA at one point, Hollowpockets was a well suggested name and i shall keep it for the time being. got to laugh or ill cry
after very little thought today and much time over the last few months considoring 'upgrades' i decided i had no option but to give dom at tvrpower instructions to convert my engine to the 4 litre with the head work and red rose spec parts. Its 6.5k towards making my car the absolute monster iv always craved and im happy to part with the cash (along with the sp12's i just ordered, eeek) as it will be a car worth keeping.
hopefully 3-4 weeks and it will roll once more!

im not interested in doing bits here and there, as previously my luck has been that anything not replaced will break, i was planning on doing it eventually so want to get the whole lot done while the engine is out and get the upgrades, if i dont i'll regret spending money to make it the same as it was.
also the full rebuild to 2007 spec comes with the 2 year warranty which is important considoring my bad luck with cars!

Found this today, dunno if you've seen it but it might cheer you up.
Sounds f'ing evil by the way!
