Hi,

I had a new 4 litre built about 3 or 4 years ago; when I say new it was built off a new crossbolted and braced core of new block, crank, con rods and pistons. It has my old heads, re - worked, a fast road cam etc etc.

It is great. A 4.6 short engine would be the same price, I decided against it because I have an MGB underpinned 289 and I did not want to stress the MG bits too much, I was worried about carrying sufficient fuel for a 4.6 and also keeping it cool.

It produces 235 bhp and 250 ft lbs of torque.

David Ellis of Nuneaton built my engine for me and it is absolutely fine.

Good luck
