For years the Cossie engine was the 'go to' engine for the hp that your looking for. A secondhand engine & box given to a good reputable engine builder to take apart & give a freshen up to check all is well would last you for years at the power level your looking for, but engines & boxes now seem to be going for around £4k - £5k......if you can even find one. Not sure about the other engines as have no experience with them. Personally, if I was going to start again I'd look at an Alu' blocked yank turn key V8, but would still need a lot of fab work to get in the engine bay properly......and by that I mean positioned so the weights not all in front of the wheels, which means a lot of bulkhead fabbing work....I imagine. But spares are plentiful & relatively cheap with the help of the www from our friends across the pond. And more importantly than that, they sound the absolute bollocks
