![Question](https://www.scoobynet.com/images/icons/icon5.gif)
As the title really, how much would it cost to do this to the 2.5 engine that comes in the RB320? Would it need to be forged? ETC

Cheers guys, I would be looking to drop off pick up when done.
And the million dollar Q, who would you get to do it? I live in Yorkshire but would travel anywhere to the right place. I know it's going to throw up lots of names based on experiences.

Have a word with Harvey smith, he posts on here as harvey. He's in Darlington.
He and Darren built mine, a classic with a fully forged 2.5 conversion, and many other bits.
Mine cost a bit more as I had to budget for a 6-speed box too, but I'd trust Darren and Harvey all the way, plus Harvey won't let you spend on stuff you don't need. VERY knowledgeable bloke

Banny a forged rebuild will set you back 4k?? When I was looking at dropping one in my old p1 a new forged block was not far off that. I thought it would of been alot cheaper by having the block already, I am shocked

Heatwrapped RCM tubular manifold, a good quality item that we have used time and again.

You said you were going to call back when you had some - you never did.
