Default where to get an uprated transfer box made?

i am buying the running gear from a mk1 4x4 mondeo to retro-fit onto my 2wd mondeo zetec turbo. now i know the transfer box on the old 4x4 is a weak point, so where could i take the box to get it rebuilt with uprated internals to be able to take up to 350-400bhp, in case i up the power in the future?

and at a rough guesstimate how much would i be looking at to get a box made upgraded.

i'm near Ely, and work near newmarket.

i liked the idea of keeping using the mtx75 and having the 4x4 transfer box upgraded to keep it simple, and so all the ratio's stay right. doubtful the evo bits would fit without alot of work, the mondeo running gear looks almost "bolt-on" which is what i like about it. it does need some strengtheners put on the rear floor, and the 4x4 fuel tank put in, and a different exhaust but its all pretty much a straight swap for the 2wd stuff.

Isn't the Jag X type 4x4 transfer box loosely based on the Mondy 4 x4 transfer box .
Possible parts source there?
