Thanks for the responses guys, I'm fairly up on the ST170's but only in RWD format as I spend alot of time with Dave Colledge at Retro Ford in Corby and he's done several now on bike bodies and on Jenveys with Weber Alpha and on Omex but I was interested to know how much work would be involved in sticking one in my Missus's RS Turbo should the CVH decide to give up the ghost.


As 170bhp is 40bhp up on her standard turbo motor, its totally reliable and probably more efficient and on top of that, no turbo to worry about

Plus ST170 motors come up cheaper than a rebuild......

Something to think about anyway.
