Hi guys, first of all I apologize if my English is not perfect, but I'm Portuguese. I come to ask you for some help with my project!
So, I have a MK2 Ford Orion Ghia 1.4 CVH of 75hp ( carbureted ). And I want to make it a more efficient and powerful car, and the idea of ​​removing the CVH engine has already been put forward. I've been looking at some engines, like the 1.6 and 2.0 Zetec in the Ford Focus MK1. I wanted to choose an engine that was as plug and play as possible and that would be a good base for a project up to 300hp. At the moment my concern is to have more efficiency and reliability and therefore, I ask you, what is your opinion? Which engine should you choose? Cylinder and family? By the way, I would like to add central locking to the car, is there a kit that you recommend? Portuguese greetings!
