Default Who builds a good Zetec bottom end?

Im going to be doing the zetec bottom end conversion in November and would like to know of some companies that build them? Ive already got thehead so its just bottom end...

Im probably going for the 1.8 zetec but not too sure yet so really its just companies im in need of unless anyones got an engine for sale and ill have that!!

Thanks

Vikki

Am booked in on 31st July with Paul so ill talk to him about it then as well...

I wanted to use the 1.8 as its stronger (so ive heard) Im only looking for a max of 200bhp but to never use it if ya get what i mean! Basically want a an engine that is unblowable! So i will never run it higher than 185bhp so i cant kill it
