Dojj i was thinking the very thing mate but couldn't be too sure fella
the 2.3 was the galaxy motor if im right and its pretty much a bottom end swap i think (correct me if im wrong right enough), i was thinking about the S1 as it cant be a bad base with 150bhp out the box??
dont know about pistons and rods though because the zetec turbo gear can be relativley cheap from the states but i dont know how big they are or I4's
i was gonna sell my S1 but the work situ is changing for the better so i can afford a bit of a resto and a project, just think think this would be different and a bit of a challange
right im off to the gym cos im a skinny coont
