Default No-rev Capri

Does anyone have any spare Sunstar Ford engines which will fit my Norev capri??? im looking for anything suitable & not like a 1.6 from a GL escort, i got out bid on a good ford engine on ebay like what im really wanting now. im taking the norev capri apart to paint it & after taking the fake engine out, i found loads of room to put another better detailed engine in, im not bothered if iv got to cut out the bit for the steering because i notice the steering is totally wrong anyway, turn the steering wheel left & the wheels turn right!, i know the problem but it looks hard to fix(the bent bit of rod on the steering wheel is up side down & when you turn it the correct way, it works but doesn't connect very well).
im finding the capri much easy'er to take apart than the escort & im starting to think could Norev & Sunstar be sister company's?, i see alot of things that look or done the same way, the wheels are screwed on from the inside on the capri, the screws to take the bottom off the car is almost same place as escort, the screws are the same, the bit holding the bonnet is exact same, the seats are made in the same way & both also has the carpet on the floor, alot in common!
