its a heavy motor,

i much prefer n/a for the noise
but tall, putting them in mk3/4 escorts create height issues
bulletproof the ones ive had and they got abuse constantly, pair of cams, bit of head work chipped/mapped and ARP rod bolts, my blue 2wd one was a stormer and regular beat XE corsa/nova boys at york dragway
and sounded the absolute bollocks with a full stainless, not noisy but high pitched revs (7800 i think)
love another one actually but im a RWD man and after looking for a RS2000 after seeing the "other" post i was on ebay looking for a cheap one, ended up bidding on cheap BMW e34 535i`s and A8`s.............
still i will have another pacifica one soon i hope
Just my 2p worth
