Thanks Charles, all sounds sensible. Is there a procedure for testing a brand new engine out of the car, to see that it will run? Or would doing so cause more harm than good?
The tricky thing for me will be the car is going to be registered as a new (period) one. Until it is registered you can't (legally) drive it on the roads.
But I am going to need to have the engine done, in the car and running enough to make sure it all works before I can get it road legal and drive-able on public roads. I am not sure that a running engine is even a requirement to get the car registered to be honest!
Sorry, this thread is going somewhat off topic.I might start another.
