Afternoon all. I have a 63 ragtop with the original 1200 in it. I am looking into a bigger motor, specifically a turnkey motor. Is anyone familiar or has had experience with the company STRICTLY FOREIGN in Grants Pass, OR? Or maybe a few recommendations on a good company?

Just replaced my longblock in my '67 that was built by Chico at Steelbuggin.com (Los Angeles). My buddy, who helped rehab my bug, has a Chico longblock in his splitty as well and its running great. I know he does turnkeys as well. Highly recommend Chico. Good luck.
