    It is actually a damn good conversion for a mk1 or 2 Escort, quite a few rally boys do it now, they go like stink for not a lot of money, I think the engine originally was earmarked for a turbo so it is very strong as well, and I read somewhere that there was some Cosworth design involvement, all in all not a bad choice.

    I think that Cosworth worked their magic on the head??
