Damico race engines (http://www.damico-engines.co.uk/) is fairly close to you (, as is randalls, but there seems to be a long lead time there). I'd personally use damico if i couldn't do everything myself. I'd also recommend allitt motorsport (http://www.allittmotorsport.co.uk/) as i know he does an outstanding job and charges a fair price.

not particularly close to you, but not a million miles away either!

Well as your NA getting more (noticeable) power is quite expensive, a rebuild with headwork, a decent cam, throttle bodies, exhaust and management for example would set you around Ł3500.
If your just after a freshly built engine with an air filter, exhaust and maybe a cam then around Ł1300.

That's if you don't need to go oversize pistons.
