The July 2022 issue — out now — is packed with engine swap tips, tricks and inspirational feature cars to inspire you plus a six-page guide to 2022’s biggest classic Ford event


Engine swaps have come on a long way since the heady days of the classic tuning era. Who’d have thought 60 years on,a classic Ford enthusiast would be fitting a 2-litre, all-alloy, 16-valve mass production engine that revs to 9000 rpm into their Mk1 Escort?

Bigger engines in smaller Fords are nothing new, of course — Jeff Uren’s Race Proved outfit was offering a Ford 302ci V8-powered Capri from the early 1970s. The difference now is that technology has improved the quality of the both the engines and the conversion parts required no end — and the home-brewed engineering cunning involved has come on leaps and bounds, too. We’ve cherry-picked a few great examples of this in this issue, and detailed what’s involved with 10 of the most-popular swaps. Check them out, then get down the garage with your tape measure and start plotting.
