I don't really have any problems now. Any I have had I've picked up knowledge off people who have been really helpful -- Lee M, Dan (J100), etc 
At the end of the day I just found a local garage where the guy happens to have built a few transplanted cars himself, so he's always happy to help out and suggest fixes to issues...
Also there's a lot of knowledge about these engines on the 'net thanks to their use in a lot of kit cars...
