    What sort of power is the DOHC lump making?

    And other junk I don't like to talk about!

    looks awesome!

    out of interest... why the dohc engine?
    just seems an unusual engine choice... or maybe thats why you chose it

    already owned the sierra with this sat in it , the turbo runs on std compression , replacement engines cost £ 70 to £150 so when it goes pop u have no worrys about a replacement , and they fit straight in , no expensive water rail , sump etc like the zetec , so the conversions cheap as chips all round ,,,,

    Thats exacly why i used a 16v I4 engine as they are hard as nails and they are super cheap and are easily tuned to 200bhp n/a whith only bolt on mods cracking conversion and cracking engines!
