I've got a very original '91 325i touring that i've had for about 8 years, and have dry stored for the last 2 as I've got a 330d touring daily driver, and want to resurrect the e30 as a fun car. Basic car has been sorted (body, suspension, etc) and now i want to get a performance engine built. I think i want to get a 2.7 built, but short of going to Hartge, can anyone recommend anyone in the south or south west that can do it for me? And where is the best place to get performance engine parts (pistons, cam, etc)
