Is there any in the northeast that specializes in engine conversions?

i currently own a 1.2 8v B and im looking for more power now and would like a 1.6 16v fitted but i cannot seem to find anywhere in the NE that does this.

any tips or recommendations are welcome

a engine conversion all in, will prob be more than buying a car already done, thats fact

the cheapest way would be to sell yours and buy a 1.6!

well diy will be cheaper

i mean if you take it somewhere to get done properly, as his asking

yeah will end up costing more than buying a 1.6 sport but it wouldn't be the same if you know what i mean.

i have had my car over 2 years now and its damn hard to find a clean unrotted B.

iv seen newer B's in terrible condition compared to mine and a few people on here that has seen my car could vouch for me on that.
