Engine builders
Hey guys I'm wanting an xflow engine building, a good 1700cc fast road unit.
Who do you know specialises in these kind of engines and has a good reputation?
Only ones I know are Harris Performance and Team Ashton. Who else should I be talking to?
Thanks in advance.

Procomp. Built us one for a race car a few seasons ago albeit a 1300cc. Superb engine.

We use Ron Jones 07866 278540
Ron has years or experience, he has built some very quick X flows and Pintos for circuit and oval racing as well as fast road.
Back in the 1990s he built big BHP cosworth engines, more recently Nissan GTR (over 1000BHP)
Ron builds all our engines and does all our custom engineering work such as bespoke inlet manifolds.
Call Ron and tell him Dale gave you his number.
Cheers Dale.

Thanks everyone for the replies.
I've spoken to a few people now, the big question is.....is it worth an extra £1000 to have the engine forged?

The car will always use the xflow so it's got to last. It's only going to be used for road use.
The tuning company has given me the standard internals 1700 build at 3k.
The forged version is 4k. With the forged version I'm basically told it can have future upgrades for extra power as the bottom end is bullet
proof.

Do it yourself? The Xflow has to be about the easiest engine going for DIY rebuilds just get a decent engine reconditioning company to check and
measure all of you components

I'd be tempted to build the bottom end and get the headwork done. That is another option.
