hardly tom from kilkennys old car is it , 07 kk reg ?
nice bus if so , lots of bits done to it ,
Ali burrows done the pistons , gaskets and head studs on mine a while back brian , takes away the paranoid thoughts of will she go pop every time you drive her on , ali seems to say omega or cosworth parts , not much in the price difference and turned my car around in a week including him putting up a few miles to make sure all was good ,
is your car overheating or doing anything unusual ?
@Baz, have seen threads where vf 43's doing 380 without tinkering , a few that have been ported and polished have seen 400 , one or two proven on good rollers in the uk

The map on the car will need to be checked/adjusted before driven in anger after the run in. As there could be a slight difference in compression ratio .
Get the engine done , after the first oil change get her mapped and drive the heart out of it to make sure you get a good bed in on the rings
Engine builder will advise on what to use.
