Hello my name is dennis iam from Denmark and iam new on here. I drive a Dax Rush which is currently fitted with a Pinto engine. And this is where i could use your guys help.
I've been toying with ideas of lot of different engines to put in my Rush. But i think that i've decided that is has to be a cossie, both for the ease of fitting (same engine mounts as my pinto) and the exhaust exits on the same side. However i like the idea of running a naturally aspirated Cossie, maybe on ITB. The reason for this is that it would be a lot easier to get i through the periodic eu inspections here in denmark. And also it would be a lot more "classic" to look at if you get what i mean, and the sound of it, i imagine will be marvelous.
Anyways i've been looking into this a bit, and decided if i do this, i want something in between 200 and 250 bhp. For my pinto to reach 200 hp would be quite expensive, but what about the cossie? Can anybody give me a rough estimate on the price of building such an engine? And also which block would be best for this? A 200 or a 205? Could i mount the cossie head on a pinto block? Hope you can help me with some of the questions..

Very kind regards
Dennis
