Building a block and head up is the relatively straight forward bit imo
The 2ltr blactop engine is and a frs engine all it needs is the frs pistons roughly £255 but you cant get he frs rods anymore so you would need some forged aftermarket jobbies like williams/pec/eagle and the frs head is lightly ported
