kev i have seen ones with say water seals gone sell for 1500 mint body work etc... if you take the engine out your self (recon i can do it in about 1-2 hours max) stick the engine in a boot of another car, drive to birmingham and get era and colum to strip, and port it then build it back up (they will port for like 150-200 i think it is and then 150 to rebuild) you supply all the parts so say a seal kit... thats 900 if you don't need tips or side seals or springs you are good for a ported block for like 1300 quid and they are pretty much the best porters in the uk.... that includes painting the block etc, take it home put all the alternator etc back on, and drop it back in, 3 or so hours to refit... save a bundle of cash.
