Swiftune would get my vote.
I'm not saying that there is anything wrong with MED, but put it this way, Swiftune dont need to take out a double page add, every month......

I had an MED engine built for my Sprint 1293 , still going strong ( although it blew a head gasket in the alps on the IJ ) been to Italy twice in it now .

Looked at Longmans , Swiftune good prices from both and would have been happy with either .

AC Dodd has done a great job on my Cylinder head and carb set up (ML Motorsport) and has an excellent reputation for building A series motors .

And Cooperman built my 1071 S engine and I'd be very happy to let him build me another.

There you go bit choice , but they may all be busy .


I always think Pete Baldwin must be usefull at building engines when you see the results he gets in mini miglia racing

Baldwin use to run a swiftune engine, but he may have changed now. Swiftune get my vote too. One thing i think is important is how someone responds when you do have a problem. A mate has just had a swiftune race engine built and on his first outing the clutch was slipping, ok very disapointing but these things do happen. He phoned swiftune up, booked a day and they sorted it out no fuss (think they had to machine a bit of the backplate or something??). They are expensive though but when you see the kit they've got, flow bench, dyno, crack testing, certainly the standard to aim for.

Remember Simon left MED to start his own company MorSpeed www.Morspeed.co.uk may be worth giving him a ring too...
