Engine and gearbox conversions
Conversions backed by the fabrication and workshop support they need.
Whether the job is a like-for-like replacement, a gearbox change or a full conversion, success depends on packaging, mounting, cooling, routing and finish quality. Goblin Automotive handles the surrounding workshop work required to deliver a reliable, usable result.
- Like-for-like changes as well as more bespoke conversion projects.
- Supporting fabrication where mounts, routing, clearance and integration need workshop solutions.
- Suitable for classic, specialist and performance-oriented builds.
Conversion projects
More than a simple engine swap.
Most conversion jobs involve fabrication, clearance, cooling, exhaust routing and setup work. The workshop manages those details so the finished car fits correctly and drives as it should.
Conversions rarely happen in isolation
Good conversion work is not only about the engine or gearbox itself. The surrounding workshop detail determines whether the finished result is reliable, serviceable and coherent.
Classic and specialist builds benefit from joined-up support
Older cars, one-off projects and specialist builds often need bespoke solutions rather than off-the-shelf parts. The aim is a conversion that fits the car properly and can be supported sensibly afterwards.
Support the installation
Fabrication, routing and workshop problem-solving matter as much as the powertrain choice itself.
Refine and complete
Conversions often move naturally into diagnostics, setup, exhaust work and ongoing workshop support.
