I am looking at possibly buying a crated, forged engine that will be spec'd at handling 400+bhp, 2L Bugeye STI.

I am not looking at rebuilding mine, but essentially trading my engine in for one that has been looked over with a fine-toothed comb and re-engineered and rebuilt with forged internals capable of making big power.

Anybody got any recommendations on local UK suppliers of such a crated engine and what vague ballpark figure I could be looking at? Ta.

EDITTED: I suppose a complete rebuild might be on the cards, but as I understand it, a crated one built to spec is probably going to be cheaper and far more reliable than the work mine would probably need. Reason being - engine blew up and still awaiting diagnosis on whether it chewed up the internals or just blew the gaskets and heads

 

Andy Williams of Williams Motorsport in Holywell, North Wales gets my vote.
Wms racing on here. Price wise you'll have to discuss it with Andy, depends what you want doing.

 

Engine tuner... Speak to Alan see what he says...
They built my engine:-)
But I wanted my engine back in...
