Neil..Why are you not going to Dave V8..he has built most of the Interceptor Engines that have been done here.. He's done mine and doing another one for me now, he is very old school and doesn't have a website, but you won't find a better V8 Engine Builder, or a better cost, you will be talking to the man himself who actually builds your engine, so a personal service with results that you won't improve on..here is my 400Ci block that I have had done and he is now doing a 440 for me now.. >>>

Hi Grant, thanks for that information, I intended earlier in the year to pull the Engine out and give it a refresh, then with the lockdown the machine shops and places with pickling tanks etc. either shut down or were running slow so I put it off. I know from past experience its always expensive even doing all the disassembly and reassembly myself. So I guess it would make sense to talk to someone like Dave first and maybe avoid myself a lot of work. Thanks, Les

Hi Lee,

Dave Gilliver rebuilt my 440 as well, and I endorse everything Grant has said and recommend Dave very highly.

Best regards
