Recommend me an engine guru in SE England

[Fezant Pluckah]

I want to do some work to the Cleveland 351 in the Pantera, including a rebuild, new ali heads etc so I can get LOTS more power out of it.

Can anyone recommend someone in SE England (I am in East Sussex) who can do such a task?

Thanks in advance.

I've just looked at their web site and they've moved to Northamptonshire!

Problem I have heard of with crate engines, Stu, is that they claim x amount of bhp/torque and when you slap it in the car you find it has considerably less and you need to spend money spanking it up. A decent crate with say 500bph, by the time I have shipped it over, will cost me £10k with all the associated bits that are required, and even if I get £2k for engine I have, I am sure with £8k I can do the job better (and perhaps for less)

Decisions decisions!

Hi Jez

I didn't realise American orses were smaller than ours!

I kno the Australians make good ali heads for the Cleveland (mine still has the orginals made from carved granite!)

With the exhcnage rate as it is it would almost be as cost effective to buy here; by the time I've paid shipping and tax I'd say they would be on a par.

I'll consider Knight when I come to make my final decisions.

Well a US crate engine it won't be then!

Thanks for all the advice guy, I'll do some deliberating over the Xmas/NY period and let you know ho it goes!

Hi Phil

Sorry, didn't see your post until today!

I'm still deliberating as to what to do, to be honest. I've got a company putting together some options for me, so I can see what may cost how much and produce what power. I, like you, want to give the Max Power brigade a run for their money!

Cheers
Jim
