I need to send my block away for reboring. The cost in terms of time and petrol means it's not worth taking it down myself. Can someone recommend a decent next day carrier that won't charge the earth because I don't have an account with them?

Hi Brad - been busy doing other stuff and working away. I've got new pistons, new valve springs, new cams, new valves, replacement head (nicely ported). All I need is a block to bolt everything to, then will be up and running...

I'll try night freight - see what they say

Cheers Adam and Corsa808. If it's anything near £50, I think I'll drive it down to Stoke

It'll look pretty similar when completed as most of the changes are internal. I'll be happy with 215-220bhp, but more importantly I'm rebuilding it to a much more robust spec. Swindon Racing used the same spec on their group A Vaux rally engines and got 204bhp with a single inlet throttle body, so with multiple throttle bodies, hoping for a wee bit more

Thanks for all the help guys and girls. But having contacted loads of couriers and after getting quoted silly prices or turned away cos I don't have an account, I've decided to just drive the fcuker down and have a day out in Stoke

Andy, this is a little off topic but here goes.

Did you used to have a rear strut brace in your car that you sold to a guy in Sheffield?

I've now bought it off him but I just can't figure out where it fits

Do you have any pics of it fitted to your car?
