New redtop short motors are readily available from Vauxhall, but have deep pockets
There is umpteen places that fit the engines, just ask about your local area.

technically its on exchange.
put over here what they do is make you may an extra €800 deposit or something and you can collect the remanufactored engine.... i assume if you never come back with the exhange engine you lose you money, can't see them doing much else

all your paying for is a reconditioned engine. which any competant person can do + help from local machine shop for doing some bits.
tbh just buy a redtop and have ot fully rebuilt, cost you less than half the price vaux want too!
