hi just got my van and engine needs a rebuild-head gasket etc...no problem.

but i need to be using the van as my daily driver. as it is i can drive it short distance which is ok for now.

what i need is a good running engine i can transplant straight in so i can continue using the van while i rebuild my engine as and when i get the time then use as spare

so anyone know of one please let me know

I am currently building up two engines. One will be ready next week.
I strip the engine & clean everything out & rebuild it with the following new parts after checking the bottom end & cylinder bore are sound.
Piston rings.
Core plugs.
Water pump.
Timing belt.
All new seals & gaskets.
Head gasket.
Valve stem seals.
Oil filter.
Cost is £500.00.
I am based in Dartford, Kent.
Fitting is £120.00 plus the cost of fluids.

for £620 do you give food and board cos that's one hell of a walk home back to south Wales, lol
How long does it take you to pull rebuild and put back in anyway dell?
Good price mind got to be said,

Generally it takes a day to rebuild an engine. I test run & set up the engine on a test bed before fitting.
My preference is to fit a cleaned/set up & sorted carb at the same time. This is another £25.00.
I also like to do the distributor as well with new points,condenser,rotor arm,distributor cap,ignition leads & spark plugs. This adds £60.00 to the bill.
I take out the old exchange engine while the client waits fit the rebuilt unit & send them on there way between 4 to 6 hours later.
