<p style="margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;text-decoration:none">Buy a complete engine ready to race at DWM. There is no high spec engine for road use. That´s controversial! Its cheaper to buy a ready to use engine at a reputable(race) engine builder than what you plan to do. And definitely no trial and error. Its a long way to Tipparary!!! Why you always have these weired ideas?<br /></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">For ages I’ve been thinking of buying a 3000 engine and doing it up to a fairly high spec. Nothing too clever, definitely a road car version. But I always hang back when I see the prices of whole engines.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">And, it strikes me, that one will probably have to ditch most of the moving parts so why buy them in the first place?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Maybe buy a block and add the rest as and when. Some from eBay, some from the usual suspects……</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Tell me please:- am I right in my assumption that a Westminster block is as near as makes no difference to a 3000 block? And that the main differences in the engines would be in the moving parts and the head?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">ie isn’t a Westie block as good a place to start as any?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I ask this as there is a very presentable looking block up for sale near me.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks,</p>
