I don't know if this is the right place to post this so move it if ya feel it should be somewhere else.

So, I went round to see my old man yesterday for a beer or three! and we got talkin about engines, i had, had quite a bit to drink by then so you will have to forgive me if this aint 100% correct.
He said that in the basement of my nans house there is an old ford cortina engine that used to be a 1.3, untill my grandad and him got hold of it. they have had it bored out to a 1.5L and a put a cross flow, port and pollished head on it, with some highlift valves and uprated cams. It also has a set of twin webber 45 carbs on it.
He said it used to be pushin out about 180+ bhp when it was last used , He had it as a motor on an old boat of his! lol

Anyway gettin to the point of my post. Does anyone know what car i could drop this engine in to? I'm sure my old man would give me a hand as he has just retired and had built more bikes, car, boat and helicopter engines than i think i have had hot meals. I was thinkin along the lines of a mini or something else fairly small. but i aint sure.

And help of advice would be much apreicated.

Cheers.

Colin.
