Not a pleasant find. Were you misled on the condition of the engine?

Have a wander around on https://ukcbxclub.com/ Probably find a couple "local" engine builders on their site.
Please do come back and let this site know about your results.

btw, i have friend that lived in your area[Torpoint] for 40 years before moving to Canada. She has lots of pics of great roads along the coast.

Martin,

Welcome to the ICOA!

The go to guy for engine builds in the UK is Carl Woodcock - based in the North West.

He is normally booked up for a while, so would need to schedule it in with him.

I also do Engine builds, but just too many other projects getting in the way to do it for you at the moment.

Send me a PM if you want me to put you in contact with Carl.

Paul.
