How much to do this DIY? Or is it best left to the experts? How much for them to do this?

DIY? depends on how much you can get the lump for, some say £3k others day £5k. If you are handy under the bonnet I'd say give it a go if you got all the equipment. the experts will charge you at least £5k with a cheaply sourced engine.

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.
