There was an news piece in Sprint in Jan of 2008 I think that talked about TVR Power having stocks of Cosworth new and remanufactured blocks.

These guys are selling new and remanufactured Rover block as well. £1000 +VAT seems to be the figure.

They all come from MCT in Weston-s-Mare. 'Bout 1 mile from my house.
