The zetec route seems popular right now,you could buy a whole escort zetec for about £200 now!!!you'll need a lot of bits for the rst conversion but of course you can easily and cheaply get about 175bhp out of it,a lot more if your prepared to spend.
Just a thought,but what about an rs2000 motor?I reckon the whole car should be yours for £5-600 as a rotter and at least you'll get the seats,brakes alloys etc to go in yours.the engines are tough but not that tuneable although their 150 out of the box.
