I have collected the engine I bought from Matty W yesterday. It looks ok, and the head looks good, but the stamp, which I didn't look at last night as I was totally wrecked, says it's an F7P.

Did Hillpower use valver blocks and mod them to F7R spec?

The answer is: yes they did.

i wouldnt worry to much mate, mine still has the F7P tag from when nick done my conversion but it is 100% an F7R :D
just check for the veins etc on the back of the block......

Yes, I am not overly concerned. I must admit I did panic a bit at first though!

I'd say it's more likely the plate has been swapped over.

So Hill Power conversions are the weaker F7P block bored out with same crank or are they just fitted an F7R crank.......

Just to confirm, the plate has been switched from a valver block. It's an F7R700. Some nice touches from what I have seen too ;)

An DVLA I guess, as technically you need to report changes like that to them.
