Hi, i have managed to source a decent rebuilt Rover 4.0 for my Hawk (to be fitted to my LT77 g/box). does anyone have any recommendations for someone to:-
- remove old engine
- fit my edelbrock inlet manifold and holley carb to my new engine
- install SD1 front cover on new engine
- install my existing electronic distributor
- install and re-commission new engine
i am based in Gloucestershire but don't mind travelling a reasonable distance
thanks Stuart

Hi Stuart,
I'm not sure how far they are from you, but I would recommend Thunder Road Cars. http://www.thunderroadcars.com/

Re: Engine change/installation recommendation
My BRA was built with a reconditioned old 3.5 engine. About 14 years ago I had a new engine built with the latest stiffened, cross bolted block and it fitted straight in. If by a 4 litre you are referring to the older 3.9 then that would fit straight in too

Re: Engine change/installation recommendation
thanks, its just the stiffened block so essentially the same engine, not expecting any traumas.
any more local/midlands recommendations gratefully received.
thx stuart
