I figured for sure you would use a 1776.

 

[slammedresto]

engines are more expensive over here, you can get an off the shelf 1776 in the US for what ill have paid for my engine

Great, I know you are ready to take it out for a drive. This is when the hardest part comes. Double checking everything to make sure it's on the money.

Dont forget to get it on the rolling road to get that engine purring like a kitten 8)

any idea on costs, and if theres one in essex

 

[easy]

Normally they are about £65 per hour for the first 2 hours and then £50 for every extra hour. Should only take a max of 2 hours. Its great and you do find out if all your bits are working well.

Try some of these. I dont know what they are like though.
