there is no reason why they wouldn't do it, but I suppose like anything you would have to pay for it. Also if its freshly painted wouldn't you want to get new pulleys etc.. to dress the rest of it up with, could end up costing a small fortune

do you realise by the time youve done the engine and box and diffs its going to cost more than the car did originally?

Double the original cost IMO once you had the 6 pots, 18" wheels, front diff, gearbox, suspension

Plus its all the little bits you get raped on, engine mounts, clutch, hydro conversion, aeroquip, poly bushes, ADJ suspension, intercooler, alloy bits, wiring looms, engine management and monitors, fuel pump set up's with extra pumps and swirl pots etc plus all the labour

600BHP is NOT cheap I know and don't even have 500bhp lol
