Hello from New Zealand - help and advice required
Hello All. I am British but live in NZ. I have embarked on a project to have a replica AC Ace built in the UK and shipped to NZ, so am sourcing all the parts etc in the UK for the build. Later this week I should have acquired a 2.5 6 cylinder Triumph engine and gearbox (I have no other details of the variants yet) and want to have these overhauled/rebuilt with higher spec. Can anyone point me in the right direction of the best rebuild/tuning specialists for the aforementioned engine and gearbox please? Many thanks, Tony.

Correction - I have just found out the engine is from a late series GT6 2.0L with overdrive. Apparently this is the better spec engine used. Perhaps someone could clarify or advise. Many thanks.
Re: Hello from New Zealand - help and advice required
As someone that has been involved with a similar build, I would suggest that the saloon gearbox is more desirable. The GT6 one was originally designed for a little Standard 8 with about 20hp. The GT6 at 104hp is about the limit. Where is the build based? May help with suggestions. Also could be an idea to copy the request into the engine section.
