blacklad - the guy who did the heads for Longman (was it Joel, I think? Can't remember) has set up by himself and continues his good work. I don't have his details but I know Andy Baker at AB Motorsport is in regular contact with him - give Andy a ring, tell him Dan told you the above, and he should be able to help.

Thanks for the replies guys, is Brett still in the engine building game, and if he still is, would anyone have a contact number for him?

Thanks for the support In the context of this thread, I don't tend to get involved with the XU 8v generally.

dad said that richard longman's health has been a bit iffy, hence the shut down, but he is still doing the odd engine here and there.

 

Cheers

so if one had the option of getting Richard Longman to do an engine or one of his former employees such as Bret Simms, which would be best I wonder?

Richard in his heyday, & i'd like to think his patience and judgement hasn't been affected over the years...
