Default Engine spec?

Hello All new to the site and cosworth tuning,

I 'm now starting a cosworth powerd cortina project and need some help and advice,

I have the running gear from a 3 door cosworth all standard, I want to get the engine rebuilt before it go's into the car and am not sure what way to go.

I'm looking for around 300hp but i want to keep it with as little lag as poisable, becouse its only going to be a light car and im not to interested in hugh top speeds.

Im thinking i dont need to do much more than a standard rebuild if it needs new pistions at what point do you need to move to low compression or 4x4 pistions.

As far as turbos go i have no clue i have spoken to CR turbo's and they are recomending a stg1 hybrid or if i want to reduce the lag further fitting a roller bearing although its not cheap.

Im in the suffolk norfolk area so if anyone could recommend a builder near by would be good also.

Thanks Jamie
