No thank God, I wouldn't own it if it was. 4 on the floor.
Right now the plan is to do some minor work on the engine for land speed racing, and then after that I want to swap in EFI from a 1989 Escort GT, and then after that a turbo if I can find the stuff. Over here we have to make most of our part since there isn't much aftermarket for Escorts over here. There are not a lot of road tracks over here, so I am mainly focused on straight line performance. It will get drag raced mostly but what I am really building the car for is standing mile speed competion. The class I want to run has a record of 114 mph or 183 kph.
