Hi folks, new to this forum so take it easy on me!!

Basically I'm fed up with having a cool car (the escort) and it not being fast enough.... it deserves at least a 1.6/1.8 so i thought I'd try and dump a 2.5 V6 from a Mondeo in it (then obviously upgrade the suspension/exhaust/brakes/wheels to take the new power and weight)

Have seen V6 engines on eBay for around £200 - £300 as a starting point.

I am planning on leaving the body kit standart (with the black bumpers that do the fast looking red paint no justice) so it's going to be kind of a Q car... fast as but so unassmuming!!

I will (within the next 6 months) be given an Audi 80 2.0 as my 'normal car' so I will still have the 'cort knocking round and this fun project in my head....!!

If anyone's attempted this before can you please let me know how it went and all about your trials and tribulations you had converting your escort to a bit of a beast....

Thanks for any help you can give!

ps - just tell me if I'm mad and it can't be done.
pps - just as an after thought, 4X4 would be fun too....
