XE block/engine can be converted, but if you are not going to use an after market ecu and loom it will be cheaper to purchase a complete standard engine package for about £1000-£1200 depending on condition.
I would recommend a bored oil jetted skimmed block with standard size crank with the following new parts, arp flywheel bolts TTV flywheel, arp main cap studs, zlet/leh oil pump, modified oil pick up pipe, full gasket set with bonded rubber seal baffle plate (as mentioned), bearings, water pump, belt kit, arp head studs, forged pistons, steel rods with genuine arp bolts, cometic head gasket (thickness will depend on cylinder head thickness), vernier pulleys, uprated single valve springs, new ina followers, with a rebuilt skimmed cylinder head (ideally coscast) with an XE inlet cam and original GM valves (exhaust were sodium filled, replacements even genuine are not) or if you have the budget Nimonic exhaust valves, stainless inlet valves.
I have everything available except a coscast cylinder head.
I supply and use only genuine or OE specification parts where modified parts are not used, do not use 'mick mouse' gaskets sets, bearings, oil pumps (or secondhand) or followers, if you do I guarantee your engine will fail.
I have Piper springs, Vernier pulleys and cams, pistons made by Omega, various brands of steel rods including Arrow, arp fastners, TTV flywheels, Cometic gaskets, Elring & Rienze gaskets, genuine oil pumps, modified oil pick up pipes etc
I can sort all the machining, supply a block crank, and most other parts to build a complete engine, can build if required.
I have a secondhand engine package available with several new parts.
Can also supply new Quaife or Gripper diffs.
message me if interested.
