Does anyone know of a reasonable engineer in the Sydney area that is relatively cheap?

The only one I know of is name is Richard and his contact number is 4721 4395 (at least it was the last time I spoke with him). He's in Penrith, but I can't vouch for his rates or anything else for that matter. I only spoke to regarding a theoretical engine transplant I was considering for a clubbie project that I didn't go ahead with. He seemed pretty down to earth and approachable. Let us know how you get on.

Thanks for that guys... Real help. I have a Camira brake conversion on my mini and i would like to get it engineered....

16V van, did this guy do your conversion report for you? Roughly how much are you looking at to get a engine conversion engineered?

You are looking at prob $400 - $600 mark for an engine conversion depending on detail! I havent finished yet. Plus it is $100 an inspection.
