Simon,
Buy a complete engine ready to race at DWM. There is no high spec engine=20
for road use. That=C2=B4s controversial! Its cheaper to buy a ready to use=
=20
engine at a reputable(race) engine builder than what you plan to do. And=
=20
definitely no trial and error. Its a long way to Tipparary!!! Why you=20
always have these weired ideas?

For ages I=E2=80=99ve been thinking of buying a 3000 engine and doing it up=
to a=20
fairly high spec. Nothing too clever, definitely a road car version. But I=
=20
always hang back when I see the prices of whole engines.
And, it strikes me, that one will probably have to ditch most of the moving=
=20
parts so why buy them in the first place?
Maybe buy a block and add the rest as and when. Some from eBay, some from=
=20
the usual suspects=E2=80=A6=E2=80=A6
Tell me please:- am I right in my assumption that a Westminster block is as=
=20
near as makes no difference to a 3000 block? And that the main differences=
=20
in the engines would be in the moving parts and the head?
ie isn=E2=80=99t a Westie block as good a place to start as any?
I ask this as there is a very presentable looking block up for sale near=20
me.
Thanks,
Simon
