Right...you'll have to build it yourself if you want a good spec for £1500 but for reliability i'd go for a steel bottom end, you'll need :
Steel Rods (Pec do some that are reasonably priced)
Forged pistons (Pec do some low comp wossners or accralites from burton)
Standard grind crank (if you can)
Good quality bottom end bearings - mains/big ends
New genuine ford oil pump
payen gasket set (full bottom end set)
