I have 2 RS2000 engines, but the block and sump is destroyed on both.
I heard about the posibility to combine 2,3 galaxy bottom with rs2000 top.
I need the engine for at ford escort stock-car (budget racing

)
What happends if i simply take the RS2000 top and bolt it on the 2,3 bottom - end of story ?
I understand i need to use special gasoline - ok (i use 30 -50 liters pr. year)
is that all ?
RS2000 head will bolt straight on, just use the 2.3 head gasket.
Use RS2000 cams if you have them.
