What is the engine though? Is it an American Ford unit? And more importantly, what kind of power does it make?
Thank you for that matey, I have brought it back from the edge of Death . As for power 26 years ago they were 175 bhp with no inter-cooler. I have got an RS500 type inter-cooler and bigger turbo, bigger injector time bigger maf, better Ecu and 3" exhaust. I am just about to start on the head As that is where all the power will really come from. Other that that, I can't say as I haven't had it on the rollers yet. It's yust been MOTed and TAXed for the first time in five years. It was running and auto three speed box and it had 164 bhp at the wheels then. Auto's really zap the power ove 30% some say . it has a T5 in there now and 3,32-1 rear end. so should do a verry high top end but slow down low I have a 3,69-1 for her if needed and a 3,94-1 too. All just fit and see at the moment as no body know enough to say what I need . I will get there and I am hopeing for 300 to 350 ish. . Thanks Paul W
