Default the new engine

well a coupl eof weeks ago i put a post up saying that worried about the engine in my car letting go etc, anyway enough of that its still running, however i have as we speak a laskey/benson short block being built cant wait for it, i am also mulling over whether to get them to do the head for me there or get the parts shipped over and find somone in the uk to do it, hmm

also been asked if i wanted it to be turbo'd, figure that was banded around with the new engine in would be 600 hp + i just laughed, would have to ship the car over though.

anyway is it easy to fit the engine in an S, anyone done it?
or anyone know a decent garage or person that we would all trust in the south east

I'd dropped mine to swap the clutch out .. it's on it's own subframe, so I believe you can just slide it under and then hook it up.

All garages I have trusted have let me down at one point or another so it's all DIY for me.

where in the s/east? H-Engineering seem pretty good at 'fun' stuff..

Their rates / hour are less than Hondas and they have a way cooler work space.
